heard indication problems until
No indication at all of any problems in the first flight, and nothing, as I say, until 7:11 (p.m.) that we heard of anything.

We are saddened and surprised by this news. Ron was an exceptional friend and pilot who flew a great many successful missions. We still miss him dearly.
