Eric Hertz, an EAA member who won a Bronze Lindy at AirVenture in the Vintage category last year for his 1947 Beech Staggerwing restoration, was reported killed along with his wife in a crash at sea off the West coast of North Island in their Beechcraft Baron. Eric lived in Madison, WI before moving to New Zealand recently. We'll miss him as the people who worked for him at 2degrees in New Zealand where he was the CEO already do http://ericandkathy.2degreesmobile.co.nz/.
