The SFTE EC Jesualdo Martinez Award In Flight Testing has been created to commemorate our colleague and board member Jesualdo Martines Rodanes, who tragically deceased in the accident of A400M MSN 23, in Seville in May 2015.
On October 30, the flight test community suffered a sad loss when the second prototype AW609 crashed in Italy, with Pietro Venanzi and Herb Moran on board. The pilots were well known in the SFTE community and had delivered several presentations at our symposia.
Please keep Pietro, Herb and their families in your prayers and thoughts.
