For those of you who have not heard: Wiley Carlton, a well known and
highly respected tow pilot has been killed in a motor vehicle accident
in the Outer Banks of the Carolinas. Wiley had been working towing hang
gliders at the time but had towed extensively at Seminole Lake Glider
Port in Clermont, Florida for years.

Wiley towed me on my first glider lesson, my first solo and my
commercial check ride. He was rock solid, dependable, highly skilled
and he will be sorely missed.

Fly on Wiley.
