In Memory of
Commander David Burdine U.S.N. (Ret.)
1955 - 2007
This portion of the website is dedicated in tribute to a loyal, dedicated friend, a trusted shipmate, and a valued team member.
David Burdine had always been in love with airplanes. He soloed his first airplane at age 16 and had been flying and working on airplanes ever since. He flew F14s and other fighters in the Navy for a full career. He was a flight instructor and taught basic and advanced flight students. He had been on the restoration team for several airplanes, the most recent being a museum quality airworthy Polish built MiG17. He supported and flew this MiG and a Yak52 at air shows around the country. David had worked with All Coast Aircraft Recovery from 2004 to 2007.
