Tribute to Andrew Blackwood-Murray

It is with deep sorrow that we bid farewell to a remarkable aviator, Andrew Blackwood-Murray, whose passion for flight and dedication to the aviation community inspired all who knew him.

Andrew’s love for the skies was more than a profession, it was a calling. His skill at the controls, his unwavering professionalism and his ability to share the joy of aviation with others made him not just a pilot but an ambassador for the wonder of flight. Those who saw him perform will never forget the precision, grace and energy he brought to every display.

Beyond the cockpit, Andrew was a friend, mentor and gentleman. His humility matched his talent and his warmth extended to everyone he met – whether on the flight line, in a hangar or among the crowd after a show. He embodied the spirit of camaraderie that binds aviators together.

Andrew left us while doing what he loved most – flying. Though his passing leaves a void that can never be filled, his legacy will endure in every takeoff, every display and every young dreamer inspired to look skyward.

Our deepest condolences go to his wife Kyla and to the rest of his family and friends during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the love, respect and admiration Andrew inspired in so many.

Blue skies and tailwinds Andrew. May you rest in peace and may your spirit forever soar.
