Rochester Aviation Icon, Bill Law, Lost In Crash

Twin he was flying goes down in wooded area; Law ran aviation school for 20+ years

Bill Law, owner of Bill Law Aviation School near Rochester International Airport, was killed on Saturday when the twin engine aircraft he was flying went down in a wooded area near Clarkson (NY). All that is known at this time is that he reported having engine trouble just before he crashed. There were no passengers with him on the aircraft.

Law was an icon in the Rochester aviation community, having operated his flight school for more than 20 years. He was considered by many to be one of western New York's top aviation operators. Reaction to the news of his death was immediate, as fellow pilots, current and former students gathered at the School to pay the respects.

Student pilot John DeVisser said "he was a good guy and will be greatly missed." Tom Lochner got his ticket at Law's school some time ago, and clearly had a lot of respect for Law. "He was definitely a serious guy," said Lochner. "He would joke around, but you knew he demanded a lot out of you."
