Kyle Franklin posted on his facebook that Roger Buis, who used to fly Otto the Helicopter, passed away due to complications with Covid.
Sadly I just got word this morning that long time friend and airshow pilot Roger Buis, former owner and pilot of Otto the Helicopter, passed away due to Covid complications. I have many great memories of hanging out with Roger and Pauline over the years. Roger was a showman and one of the best helicopter pilots I’ve ever known. You will be missed my friend.
