Ken Baumgarten Passing - SAX009

Post by Marty_Becker »

For those SunAir members around from the early SunAir days, will remember Ken Baumgarten as an original SunAir member and the original KSTL hub manager. Ken unexpectedly passed away this morning. I first met Ken in person when he, Craig Kennedy, Jim Swanson and I visited subLogic in 1993 to present owner and Flight Simulator/ATP creator Stu Moment a SunAir Express hat and shirt.

Ken is in the upper left of this photo in the archive forum: viewtopic.php?f=51&t=398

I remember flying with Ken back in the old SubLogic days with Jim and the original SunAir Express crew. Way too young with too much talent to be called Home. My condolences go out to Ken's family and friends, and it's good to "know" that he's flying with Jim and Ken Dundon in the greatest flight simulator ever.
