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-

If your bow has a trigger, it's not a bow. If your bow has a trigger and a stock, it's an abomination.

Dave and Dianne have always been down to earth and very helpful to others.

Wow, to say I am a little shocked to hear this is an understatement. I agree with what others said about him, he was a great person and will be missed by many.

Very sad indeed, prayers sent.
