Passing of Shawn357
 

Shawn Muscat was killed in a light airplane accident Thursday, August 26, 2010 in Arizona.

I met Shawn a POC event at Willow Springs a couple years ago. I didn't know him well, but he offered to help with my engine drop on my track car shortly after I met him, with advice on tools, time and supplies. Always offered advice on anything mechanical.

Really a nice guy that lived in the same town (Poway, CA). Although I'm involved in aviation, I just heard about this crash this morning in an email from the POC.

Shawn frequented Pelican and had the same demeanor online as he did in person. Godspeed to Shawn and his family he has left behind.

Sorry if something has already been posted, I did a search to no avail.

Wow, sorry to hear of this loss.

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Did not know him but condolences to the family.

Wow, sorry for your / our loss.

I remember seeing Shawn357 around here over the years. That's very sad news.

Wow. Really sad. We figured out that we both work for the same company awhile ago. He was on my list of people to visit if I made it out to CA.

Wow, very sad.

It would seem one of his last threads was eerily relevant/prophetic.


RIP bud. :(

Oh my, that is the thread that he started regarding the flight that took his life. He was a passenger. I wish he would've contacted me about his fear of flying. An experimental aircraft doesn't really have the greatest safety record behind it to instill confidence in flying.

Oh man, that is possibly the worst thing that has ever happened on this board. So sad.

RIP, Shawn.

Eerie. Rest in peace.

Eerie.
Condolences to his family and friends.

That sucks. He was way too young. RIP Shawn Muscat.

Here's a link to the story with a great pic of Shawn. Apparently the same pilot/plane crash landed in 2006. :(

This is tragic...

RIP Shawn.

RIP Shawn....

I hope I don't offend by posting this.

But I though it would help make a great tribute to a fellow Pelican.

Godspeed Shawn.
