of Triple Tree Aerodrome alongside his wife, Clara, stands as a testament to his enduring influence. As one of the driving forces behind Triple Tree's ascent to prominence, Don's passion and advocacy helped elevate the aerodrome into a cherished destination
for aviation enthusiasts worldwide.</span></div>
