This photo is what we believe may be one of the last photos taken of Mathias before he dawned his wings and flew higher than ever.
March 7th, 2010 marked the 2nd anniversary of Mathias' passing.
2009 was another hard year for Speed-Flying with at least 9 reported deaths in the sport and numerious non fatal accidents.
Before each and every flight we encourage all Speed Flying pilots to fly safe by thinking of Mathias and all the other Speed-Flyers lost doing the sport they loved.
To help reduce the risks we need to learn from the past, learn from those who are now forever flying. Mathias and the other Speed-Flyers will always be remembered.
Fly Safe in 2010...
Check out the Angel Wings his brother built in memory of Mathias.
We love you Mathias!
We love and miss you Mathias. We can feel your presence in the air every day.
