Dave Johnson of Thunderbird Archery Fame died tragically in an Ultralight plane crash along with his passenger Mark Muzii-
Details are kind of sketchy right now-The plane crashed while preparing to land-
Dave use to build Thunderbird Longbows and still produces the Thunderbird bow and arrow finishes-
Dave and his wife Dianne had 3 children together 2 are college aged and one is in high school. Dave also has adult children from a prior marriage and I am unsure of their ages-
I liked Dave, he was a good man-God speed Dave.
Keep these people in our prayers-
