Enflight Founder Died In Crash

0

Geoff Peck, whose software creation evolved into one of the most popular flight planning services on the Internet, died earlier this month when the Piper Arrow he was flying crashed in the mountains of Colorado while he was returning to his California home from EAA AirVenture. Peck, a computer scientist, devised a program to translate weather information into plain language. That breakthrough evolved into Enflight. According to the preliminary NTSB report, Peck was making a forced landing at the 12,000-foot level of the Rocky Mountains near Salida, CO., on Aug. 7 when one of the Arrow’s wings hit a tree and the plane skidded to halt in rocky terrain. An unidentified passenger in the plane was injured.
