Glider pilot and ME 163 Komet Pilot Rudy Opitz Has Died
I considered it a HUGE honor to shake the hand of a man who'd flown
the Komet. I will never forget the moment or reading about all the incredible pioneering flying Mr Opitz participated in. Our tribe has lost another great one. Matt Michael

Glider pilot and ME 163 Komet Pilot Rudy Opitz Has Died
Sorry to hear that. I enjoyed talking with Mr.Opitz at a soaring
convention (Chicago, I think) and was impressed by his contributions but most of all by his humility. Mike Finegan
