Excerpt - A Wichita father and son were killed and two teens were injured early Sunday when their plane crashed in a pasture near Hominy, Okla. The 2003 Cessna Skyhawk flown by Ryan Sageser, 17, and his father, Mark, 46 -- who friends said was also a pilot -- were pronounced dead at the scene. The plane crashed in a field at about 1:45 a.m., about 45 miles northeast of Tulsa...

Ryan Sageser was a big aviation enthusiast and earned a scholarship about a year ago to get his pilot's license. He and his father were members of the Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary organization of the U.S. Air Force.

My condolences to Sageser family.

I would like to make known that the Sageser's were active members of the Emerald City Squadron in Wichita, Kansas. Mark was the squadron PAO holding the rank of 1st Lt. and Ryan was the Cadet Commander holding the rank of C/maj. They were wonderful. I can't even begin to describe the sense of loss that is felt here in Wichita. We have lost not only two key members of the squadron, but two very dear friends.
Ryan was a senior at Bishop Carroll High School whose goal was to gain entrance to the Air Force Academy. He had gotten his pilot's license only about 2 month's ago. The result of winning a full flight scholarship from a local flight school.
Mark and Ryan leave behind a wife/mother and two sons/brothers.

I have never cried over anything read on CAPtalk before, but I'm devastated over reading this.  My heart bleeds for this poor family and the squadron they leave behind.  I will pray for the family and friends and hope that they will see each other again in the future.  May God bless them.

KSWG and KS125 have been rocked pretty badly by this unfortunate event. Ryan was a good cadet and his father was an excellent PAO for the squadron.

FYI I just received funeral information via email as I was writing this:

Ryan Sageser 
 
Sageser, Ryan, 17, Bishop Carroll High School Senior, died Sunday, November 5, 2006.

Rosary 7:00 P.M. Thursday, November 9 and Funeral Mass 1:00 P.M. Friday, November 10, both at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.

Ryan was President of the Student Council at Bishop Carroll High School, where he was also active in debate, cross country, track and tennis. Ryan served as Cadet Major in the Civil Air Patrol-Air Force Auxillary, and was the recipient of the Amelia Erhardt Award and the Billy Mitchell Award.

Ryan was a very focused young man, pursuing his desire for a career in aviation and space exploration, his first solo flight was January 16, 2006.

Survivors include his mother, Maureen; and brothers, Ethan and Logan and grandparents, Robert & Janet Meehan, Shawnee, KS and Judi Sageser, Olathe, KS.

In lieu of flowers, memorials for Ryan Sageser have been established with Kansas Cosmosphere Ryan Sageser Memorial Fund 1100 N. Plum, Hutchinson, KS 67501 and The Lord's Diner 520 N. Broadway, Wichita, KS 67214. Downing & Lahey West Mortuary. Tributes to the family via www.downingandlahey.com

(Published in the Wichita Eagle from 11/7/2006 - 11/8/2006). 


As a side note: It took searchers several hours to find the wreckage after one of the occupants was able to make a 911 call. I don't know if OKWG was in on the search or not, would like to know if they did. The OKWG/CC and NCR CISM team has offered KSWG and KS125 any support they need.

We are in the process of  trying to arrange a CAP-USAF presence at the funeral.

Still trying to work out the details.

We are hoping that several of us from the NCLR/KSWG CAP-RAP team will be able to attend.

Our heartfelt prayers are with the family in this time of tragedy.
