I just learned Richard L. Collins has passed. He was 84 when he died on April 29. Mr Collins was a great writer, and, a great safety advocate. As a kid, college kid, adult...I read his columns every month in Flying magazine. So much of his stuff is timeless. I just re-read "Singles are safer than Twins"...heresy at the time he wrote it.
Sad to see great ones go. (I felt the same way when Len Morgan passed)
His last article:

God Speed Richard Collins!
P.S. His last written words..."So, fly on, carefully."

Re: Richard L. Collins Gone West
I started my flight training with his Sporty's videos. What a great pilot and friend to Aviation. He will be missed.
