I just received the news that Steve Bennett passed away last Saturday. Steve was a long time proponent and seller of VW engines and components through his company, "Great Plains Aircraft". Steve sold "Great Plains" to his long time friend Marty Roberts about a year ago and retired from the business. Steve hosted EAA Webinars and was a regular vendor at Oshkosh and Sun 'N Fun.
I posted this in the Homebuilders section because Steve produced VW engines for use in Homebuilt Aircraft, and is undoubtedly familiar to anyone flying in a VW powered aircraft. Steve will be sorely missed, especially in the Amateur Built Aircraft community.
