With a heavy heart I've just learned that Mike Mangold was killed flying his L39 today at Apple Valley CA. I had an up and down relationship with him but he was a friend and mentor. Blue Skies Mike! Say hello to Bob and Doug for me! 
RIP MIKE MANGOLD!

Too young to go. I know his thoughts were on his passenger. Do we know who he/she was?

Thanks all! There is a local service for him being held this Saturday at Apple Valley, Ca., his home town. On January 3 there is a public memorial being held at his hangar at Apple Valley Airport. I may try to get out there to attend.
I've heard nothing about the other person who was with him.
