mjosparky 4 #1 August 4, 2011 I received this email this morning. Please forgive the cross posting. Sparky For those of you that have not heard Jim Fee died on Tues 2 Aug. 2011. He had been a patient at MD Anderson Cancer Hospital Houston Texas since Nov. 2010 and was moved to Park Plaza Hospital couple of wks ago and was in ICU the last 10 days or so. Born in Hope Arkansas. Enlisted in US Army in early 1960's and after a tour in Germany served as a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne. Held CFI ratings in both fixed wing airplanes and gliders. A man of many talents, worked as a big rig truck driver and jump pilot on week ends while getting his airplane ratings and a degree in Criminal Justice at night school then continued to work many years on week ends flying jumpers at both Elsinore and Perris, was a Probation Officer in San Diego, real estate and aircraft salesman, corporate pilot flying jets around USA and to Europe, I think if you put wings on a chair Jim could fly it. I don’t think there are many airplanes that he hasn’t rolled including DC-3’s; there are pictures to prove it. He was on the Worlds First 16 Way made at Elsinore Ca., and has been on several POPs and SOS World Records over the years. He fought till the last gasp which is what we all would have expected of his character. He will be missed.
