Bad news, I'm afraid. Bigger thread over at Regionals forum.
ASA remembers Capt. Nelson DeBardeleben
ASA learned Saturday that Capt. Nelson DeBardeleben, ASA?s director of Flight Operations and System Chief Pilot, was killed in a small airplane accident near his hometown of Memphis, Tenn.
Said Drew Bedson, SVP ? Air Operations, "We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Capt. Nelson DeBardeleben. Nelson was a great pilot, manager and leader who dedicated much of his life to ASA. His enthusiasm, friendship and professionalism will be greatly missed."
DeBardeleben joined ASA in 1985 as a Memphis-based Embraer Bandeirante first officer and served as a line captain, a Brasilia line check airman and instructor pilot, among other assignments, before becoming ASA?s system chief pilot.
DeBardeleben was a previous ASA Award of Excellence winner and remained active in various aviation interest groups, including the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), the Airplane Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the Seaplane Pilots Association (SPA) and the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA).
DeBardeleben is survived by his wife Sandra, three children and three grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
More information will be posted to myASA as it becomes available.
