In Memory Of …

This page is dedicated to JCRCF Pilots who earned their eternal wings. As we reflect on the smiles, tears, new aircraft, crashed aircraft, planes that got away, swap meets, and general interactions, we are reminded of the importance to gather at the field, share the past, make the most of today, coach for tomorrow, and all the while have fun! Everyone has a special purpose and place on earth … bless the hearts and minds of peer pilots, your flying field family, and make your legacy golden.

Boyd Helstrom –
August 4, 1928 – February 1, 2006

We have lost a good friend and fellow pilot. Below you can find a few pictures of Boyd taken over the last few years at different events at our club. I personally have lost a very good friend and confidant with his passing. Boyd was one of the “good guys” and will be greatly missed by many.

Good-bye dear friend, live with God.

Brian T. Cassidy –
April 16, 1966 – October 31, 2022

Brian Cassidy enjoyed full size airplanes and remote control model aircraft. When possible Brian used to work at full size air shows. He shared many fond memories. When a model aircraft would grace the runway and remind Brian of another event, Brian would take a moment to share. No question, even if he was not flying a plane at the field, Brian was sure to strike up a conversation about events with planes. Brian was serving as the JCRCF club Vice President when he passed.
