It is with a heavy heart that I announce the retirement of Dirk Weimer from AFVA for personal reasons. He most recently served us as Chief Pilot of the newly-launched Historical program and did a magnificent job at it. he will be sorely missed here at AFVA.

"We who fly do so for the love of flying. We are alive in the air with this miracle that lies in our hands and beneath our feet."

Good Luck and Godspeed Dirk!
