Many of you may know, but Paulo Emanuele, the General Manager of aviation community's beloved website, Airliners.net, passed away in a plane crash on the evening of January 28th. He was flying his Marchetti when this tragic accident happened.

I didn't know Paulo personally, but I've spent many many hours in his website, for nearly the last decade. He was a young man, who contributed vastly this beautiful hobby of ours, by bringing all corners of the aviation industry closer together, in a common place. My condolences go out to friends and families involved; this is not the way I wished to have gotten to know about him.

In Loving Memory Of Paulo Emanuele (http://www.airliners.net/paulo/)
