BJD reached out to me to help me with some personal issues and I had never even interacted with him on a post prior to that. He always impressed me with his knowledge and grace.

You know, I like most people on SB, and we have some very special ones here, but Rob was uniquely so. Can't think of a nicer person or more competent diver among other accomplishments. My God, look at his profile here. This is going to continue to be a challenge for many of us to accept at all.

Fraid not, Don! For one thing, the Air Traffic Control structure is not set up for it. The routes, or lanes, for aircraft arriving and departing specific airports are preset both in terms of direction and altitude.

I can't even read all of this thread as the feelings are just too fresh. Rob was one of the people I never met but always wanted to, no matter what airline I flew on I subconsciously looked for him in the cockpit. Godspeed Rob! I cannot express the sadness in my heart but extend condolences and hugs to all who knew him.

A smart man with many talents. He'll be on my mind every time I submerge. If it can happen to him, it can happen to any of us. Too sad.
