I know there are a few guys that fly through Lakeview, Oregon and stop by KLKV for fuel. Marty Turman has been there for years and there are many pilots that speak of him. I am sorry to say that Marty has passed away unexpectedly. From what I am told, Marty was complaining of a pain in his eye and called his neighbor, who is a nurse. Marty was gone before she arrived. Marty was an EAA technical advisor and was a big help when I have questions about my project. Marty also let me use many of his specialty tools. His presence will be missed by throughout the aviation field. I am going to be really lost on my project now, since he is the only AP within 100 miles. I do not know the future of the airport at this time. I have decided to paint a little something on my plane when it is done for Marty. He has been a big help to me. Marty was building an experimental also. A Beaver TD. It showed some of the finest work I have ever seen. You could look for some time and not find a flaw in the wings or fuse. Services will be Monday at 2 pm here in Lakeview. I went to the airport today and noticed a sign on his office door that reads. "When my ship finally comes in. I will probably be at the airport". I believe Marty was at the airport when he felt something was wrong. I have not had to post much on this group for questions, due to Marty's knowledge, but I am afraid that if I am to finish my project, that will have to change. If you knew Marty, take a minute to think of him and what he gave to aviation. I sure hate to see Marty's Cessna sitting there waiting for him.
