RNPA posted obituary : 

Captain Bill Kullman, age 82, died January 16, 2021 at Culver, Oregon. He was born in Pasadena, CA.

 

   Bill graduated from Diablo Valley College (Pleasant Hill, CA) in 1959 with an Associate of Arts Degree. In 1961 he elected to attend one of this country’s oldest aviation schools – Spartan School of Aeronautics in Tulsa, OK. At Spartan he received advanced ground school training, flight training for Commercial Pilot and the Instrument Rating. His first solo flight was on 8/02/1961 from Tulsa Intl. to Riverside Airport.

 

   After graduating from Spartan School of Aeronautics, Bill was employed at Skyways Fight Services in Troutdale, Oregon as a contract pilot and flight instructor. He formed a group for teenagers called “SkyTeens” and several of the members eventually had careers in Aviation.

 

   Bill fulfilled the military commitment common to his era by serving in the US Army. He was honorably discharged September 30, 1963. His citations include Expert Marksman designation.

 

   Bill was employed by Northwest Orient Airlines as a pilot from September 13, 1965 to August 28, 1994. During his career with NWA, Bill flew the Boeing 707 (720/320) as co-pilot and was type-rated as Captain (Airline Transport Certificate) on Boeing 727, the Douglas DC-10-40, and the classic Boeing 747. He was also an FAA certified flight instructor, a Flight Engineer, and FAA certified ground instructor.

 

   Bill other achievements were extensive. He was certified by Northwest Society of Professional Hypnotists in 1979, as a Clinical Hypnotherapist by the Washington School of Professional Hypnosis, and in 1981 certified as a Certified Practitioner in Art of Neurolinguistic Programming.

 

   Philatelist (stamp collecting) was a major interest of Bill’s. He was a noted Philatelist and expert on the stamps of the Shanghai Local Post System in China. He edited and published Dr. Wei Liang Chow’s book “Shanghai Large Dragons, The First Issue of the Shanghai Local Post”, which was published in 1996. He also received numerous National and International awards for his various exhibits of the Local Issues of the Shanghai Local Post System, also known as Treaty Port Stamps, which were his enduring passion as a collector, forming one of the finer collections of that material worldwide.

 

   In 2019 Bill received a 50-year membership medallion from the American Philatelic Society; in addition, he was a long time member of the China Stamp Society, the China Philatelic Society of London, and the Collectors Club of New York.   He was also a member of the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors and a member of the Sports Philately International. Special awards included 1969 Apex Oregon First Place, and 1999 Art on Stamps Vermeil Award.

 

   The Far East fascinated Bill. He mastered a little fluency in Japanese as well as some Chinese. Bill sponsored three Foreign students from Japan over a period from 1966 through 2000. He also enjoyed propagating and developing Satsuki azalea Bonsai in his greenhouse, a skill he learned from a Bonsai master while on layovers in Japan.

 

   In an athletic endeavor not common to pilots, Bill was a Fencing competitor and coach for most of his adult life. Into his eighth decade Bill was a Life Member of the United States Fencing Association (USFA). In addition, he was a member of the Atlanta Fencer’s Club, the Minneapolis Minnesota Fencing Club where he was awarded the Nobleman Award for Swordsmanship at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival (MCMLXXVI).

 

   He was team manager for the United States Jr. World Fencing Championships in Mexico City in 1974. Bill sponsored and coached the Des Moines (WA) Boys Club Cavaliers; Grand Ronde Fencing Club in La Grande, Oregon; Fencibles Fencing Club in Bend, Oregon; and coached fencers at the High Desert Fencing Club in Bend, Oregon. His greatest thrill was receiving a Coach’s Medal from the USFA in 2019 when one of his students won the Youth 14 Men’s Epee National Championship in Salt Lake City, UT.

 

   Social skills were Bill’s strong suit. He was an active member of several Masonic Lodge’s in the Pacific Northwest and held leadership roles in those lodges

 

   In his early years Bill played the guitar, banjo, and was a square dance caller. He participated in team roping, raised a National Champion Foundation Quarter Horse cutting mare “Smokey Doc Hancock”, and raised Wagyu cattle.

 

   He was also noted to always have a Samoyed dog name “Timber” and was up to Timber #7 at the time of his death.

 

   In his youth, Bill was nicknamed “Busyman” and he certainly earned that name!

 

   Bill is survived by his children Eric Shanin, Ciel Kullman Glover, Amanda Kullman Stevens, William R Kullman, Chele Stolka, seven grandchildren, and his wife Maureen Connolly Mack Kullman. He was predeceased by sons Daniel Kullman and Carl Kullman.

 

   Bill is buried in the Gethsemane Catholic Cemetery, Federal Way, Washington next to his son Carl, and beloved Stepfather, Carl Coats.

Obituary  :  Lawrence A. "Bud" Sittig was born December 18, 1946 in Sioux Falls, SD to Tressie and Harold Sittig.

 

Bud was well known for his love of family, friends, flying and his faith.  His passion for aviation created the arc for his life, and it was the foundation to a life of leadership, adventure, determination, integrity, and mentorship. But it was his kindness, his warm smile, his tolerant and compassionate nature that endeared him to people around the world.

 

Bud's love of aviation began as a young boy flying with his father on the family farm in South Dakota. He married his high school sweetheart, Fran, in 1967 and started his young family.  Through his early flying adventures Bud completed a Bachelor of Science degree from South Dakota State University in Agricultural Business.

 

Bud served his country with a thirty-one-year career with the Air National Guard in three units:   South Dakota Air Guard flying the F100; the Arizona Air Guard flying the F100 and A7; and the Colorado Air Guard flying the A7 and F16. Bud completed his Air Guard career as a Brigadier General and Chief of Staff of the Colorado Air National Guard.

 

In parallel with his military career, he flourished in a commercial airline career beginning with Western Airlines in 1976 and Delta in 1987. With Delta, Bud embraced leadership positions as Chief Pilot and Director of Flight Safety. His Guard and airline career instilled the love of country and a love for travel in his family.

 

In 2004 Bud retired from Delta Airlines and moved into the business side of aviation. He joined the founding team of Skybus Airlines, a start-up national airline in Columbus, Ohio, and later established Flight Guidance, LLC.

 

Bud regularly flew his 1959 Beechcraft Bonanza and crisscrossed the country with Fran as his faithful co-pilot.   He was a passionate Beechcraft owner, taught fellow Bonanza pilots the art of formation flying and loved flying into OshKosh in July. One of the things Bud was most proud of was teaching his two grandsons to fly and watching them solo on their 16th birthdays.

 

Bud's lifetime commitment to aviation was broad and deep as his career spanned civilian, military, and commercial aviation. For nearly 60 years Bud's love for flying has taken him through the sky in over 125 types of aircraft accruing more than 20,000 hours of flight time.  

 

Bud overcame Mantle Cell Lymphoma in 2016. This spring he fought a grueling and unwinnable 7-week battle against COVID-19 and passed away on May 22, 2021 surrounded by his family.

 

Bud is survived by his wife Fran; his three daughters - Laurie (Kirk), Sarah (Joel), and Katie (Chad); five grandchildren - George, Andrew, Angelina, Maya and Ivy; his sister Sharon Lubeck and his mother Tressie Sittig. He is preceded in death by his father, Harold Sittig.

 

A Memorial will be held at Our Saviors Lutheran Church in Sioux Falls, SD on Tuesday June 15th at 11:00 AM. Burial with Military Honors will be at Hills of Rest Cemetery, Sioux Falls.

 

A  Colorado Air National Guard Memorial Service for Brig. Gen. Lawrence A. “Bud” Sittig, Ret. will be held at Wings Over the Rockies in Denver, CO on Friday June 18, 2021. Doors open at 9:00 AM and the memorial service begins at 10:00 AM.

Biography

From an interview “After Flight with Captain Bud” by Ivan Gabaldon for National Geographic, May 14, 2015

“I’ve been flying for over 50 years. I started flying as a teenager, grew up in General Aviation –that is flying small planes– and then during my college years got all of my gradings, commercial pilot gradings, and became a flight instructor. Then after college, I entered the military, I was trained in the United States Air Force and flew jet fighters, a passion which continued for some 31 years in the Air National Guard of the United States Air Force. Also, I was hired into the airline industry and flew as a Captain with Delta Airlines for about 30 years, retiring just a few years ago. Now I’m back to General Aviation, flying smaller airplanes. I own my own airplane, a Beechcraft Bonanza, but I do a lot of flying with Lighthawk(1).

… I started in small airplanes, Cessnas, Beechcrafts and Pipers, and then when I went into the Air Force, of course, the airplanes became much more sophisticated, high-speed jet fighters, you move from little airplanes to traveling super-sonic, faster than the speed of sound, with very sophisticated weapons delivery systems. And then I joined the airline industry, flying large transport-category airplanes with 290 people on board, a lot of responsibility for those people. I flew those airplanes all over the world for Delta, in Europe and the Middle East, North Africa, all over South America and into the Orient, and of course all over the US to every major city in America. Then I retired from Delta, and I retired from the Air Force -the International Guard- and now I’ve come back to the smaller airplanes that I began in, some fifty years ago. But I’ve always been of the mind that my favorite airplane is the airplane I’m flying that day. It doesn’t matter what it is, I have a passion for flying. I love to fly and I love to share the experience of flight with other people.”

Bud retired from the USAF with the rank of General. He remarked to Ivan , “I think we are who we are, no matter what role we play in life. In the military one learns to become a leader, and as you increase in rank it’s increasingly important to be good to your people. To be an effective leader you must be sensitive to your people. So when you move from the military, which is very hierarchical and very regimented, nevertheless those basic human skills transfer, and when you get out into the civilian world again it’s all about your relationship with people, communicating effectively with people and understanding where they’re coming from. And it’s very important, with our partners that we fly with in Lighthawk, that we take time to help them understand the experience of flying in a small airplane, because many of our partners have never flown in a small airplane and for many of them it’s a bit threatening, it’s unknown. So it’s important to take some time to make them feel comfortable and hopefully transfer your own comfort level with the experience to them, so they can feel more comfortable. Today, for example, was unique, we’re flying over jungles, we’re flying on the coastline, and then we’re flying well out over the ocean, so there’s a lot of exposure with a single engine airplane… you know what happens if you have an engine failure over the ocean. So today we took special precautions and more personal flotation devices so that if you went down on the water you had a flotation device, we have an onboard raft, and you have to take a few minutes to tell people about what to expect. Hopefully, that will never happen but we have to be prepared.”

Bud Sittig also flies with the Liberty Foundation in a B-17. “The Flying Fortress, the B-17, is a WWII bomber that was used extensively, flown out of England, in support of the allied initiatives against the Nazis in WWII. There are only eight Flying Fortresses still flying and I fly with the Liberty Foundation, that’s libertyfoundation.org and you can read extensively about the mission. We fly the airplane on a tour program throughout the summer months to major cities all around the US, to help people remember or understand better those that served as crew members aboard the B-17. Many thousands of young combat members in WWII died in the B-17, huge loss of life. When one B-17 went down 10 people lost their lives. So really our mission is to help preserve the memory and it’s dedicated to those warriors that flew and served aboard those airplanes. As I said there are only eight still flying in the world. The airplane that I’m flying is called the Memphis Belle(2), there’s a famous movie of the Memphis Belle filmed in 1989 that tells the story of that aircraft, which had the first ten-member crew that survived twenty-five missions because the statistical probability of surviving 25 missions was almost zero. For two years nobody survived 25 missions until in 1943 the Memphis Belle crew completed 25 missions, then they took the airplane back to the United States and went on tour. They were celebrities of sorts, war heroes, but they went on tour to help sell savings bonds to support the war effort.”

Lawrence (Bud) Sittig serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of Carlsbad-Palomar Airlines, Inc. Mr. Sittig has over 40 years experience in the aviation industry. He began his career as Air National Guard and retired with the rank of Brigadier General from the Colorado Air National Guard and joined Delta Airlines as a Line Pilot. He served as Executive Administrator for the Air Line Pilots Association and General Manager of Flight Operations and concluded his work at Delta as Director of Flight Safety. In 2004, he was hired as Vice President of Operations for Skybus. He was actively involved in the FAA certification process, raising $166 million in equity, and managed the day-to-day operations of the airline. In 2008, he founded Flight Guidance LLC. He serves as Director of Carlsbad-Palomar Airlines, Inc. (source: Bloomberg.com)

The wreckage of a World War II bomber lies in a cornfield southwest of Aurora, Ill., after the plane crashed and burned shortly after takeoff Monday. All seven people aboard escaped unharmed before fire consumed the B-17 Flying Fortress. The accident happened right after the plane took off from Aurora Municipal Airport, about 35 miles west of Chicago, and the pilot reported an emergency, said a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman. A witness said the engine on the bomber's left wing was on fire. The B-17 was registered to the Liberty Foundation in Miami.

Obituary  :  Robert Gregory Ludwig

Oak Island - Robert Gregory Ludwig (Bob/Bobby) departed this life peacefully on May 27, 2021, surrounded by his loving family. Bobby was born in Bellevue, Pennsylvania in 1944 to the late Robert and Helen Ludwig. He is survived by his loving wife, Cheryl, and two wonderful sons, Chad Ludwig and wife Amy, Mitch Ludwig and wife Kristen, and six grandchildren, Carson, Riley, Wyatt, Sawyer, Haley, and Knox. In addition, he leaves his devoted sister, Becky Bezila and husband Norb, many sisters and brothers in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

 

After graduating from Grove City College, he proudly served his country as a fighter pilot for the Air Force. He flew 180+ missions in the F105 and A7 during the Vietman War. After the war, Bobby continued his love of flying as a commercial pilot, retiring in 2000 from Northwest Airlines.

 

Bobby lived a life of fun and adventure. After spending so much time in the air, he enjoyed his retirement years on the water. Whether it was sailing across the Atlantic Ocean, captaining boats in the Caribbean or the Atlantic Seaboard - if it was on the water, Bobby loved it. Serving his community on the water became his passion. He volunteered as a diver for the Fort Fisher Aquarium, a crew member for the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, and as Chief of the Oak Island Water Rescue Squad, which was his favorite.

 

In the 51 years of their marriage, Bobby and Cheryl lived in many parts of the United States, but their dreams were fulfilled with their home on Oak Island for the past 26 years. Bobby lived life to the fullest until the very end. During the last month, in spite of his illness, he went hiking and snorkeling in the Galapagos Islands and had the thrill of riding in the Water Rescue Squad's new Hovercraft. One of his most recent and cherished accomplishments was building a hunting camp in North Carolina with his sons and friends. This special place is a legacy that will be carried on for many years to come.

 

Bobby's life was lived with strength, courage, and integrity. This was never more evident than during his three-year battle with pancreatic cancer. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all caregivers at the Lower Cape Fear Life Care Center for their compassionate and dedicated service.

 

Captain Bob - You were a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, and friend. You will be missed by so many...

 

A celebration of Bobby's wonderful life will be held at a later date.

 

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Oak Island Water Rescue Squad or the Lower Cape Fear Life Care Center.
