John D. "Dave" Hortman was a great man. Accomplished beyond belief, but humble to a fault. We were classmates, flight school compatriots, coworkers, and friends. He was a good man, and his loss is tragic. He marks the 13th member of our class to be killed in the line of duty in only 7 years. Whatever happened in those final moments, we know that they did the very best they could with what fate dealt them.
Grip hands.
