A sad day for the Jazz pilot group...
This morning in Timmins, ON; retired Captain Raymond McLean passed away peacefully with his wife and children close by. Ray was truly the 'one of a kind' aviator, who hailed from the White River/Austin Airways days of long ago. He will be sadly missed by all of those who flew with him over the years. He was a kind man, an avid fisherman and was always on the go helping others or his family. God speed 'Rapid Ray'

Re: Captain Raymond McLean
Rest in peace fellow aviator. We should all step back and remember that while we all may love our job, family and what we do in our personal life is the most important thing. My condolences to his family.
