It was a great run for a very long time, for the elite few, the best of the 
best. I felt humbled to have attended as a spectator, so incredible the 
flying skill. And always walked away inspired to perform to a higher level. I 
will miss this event tremendously. 

I never met Mr. Bennett, but he impressed me greatly (and does still), with 
his vision for our Sport. He may be gone from us forever, BUT his legacy will 
never be forgotten

My condolences of his passing to his widow and his family.
