- Matt Gewain 1983 F1A World Champ
Passing of Matt Gewain
From: Ed Carroll
Roger,
I just heard from Matt Gewain’s wife that he passed away April 26th. His wish was to have his ashes scattered at the Lost Hills field.
Matt and I became quite close friends in the last few years. He helped me prepare for the team selection in 2016 by helping me with test flying sessions in which he offered advice on the flight patterns and did all the chasing. Matt not only had a keen eye for power patterns, but also helped me with fine tuning of the glide. Then when it came time for the actual team selection competition, Matt came to Lost Hills and chased every flight. That was the year I first made the team. I shall think of Matt fondly and may his eternal rest be peaceful.
Please post on SEN.
Best,
Eddie Carroll
