In memoriam Gergely Kosa, EHM-0001 |
Dear Members!
I'd like to pause for a moment in the midst of the rush and topics of everyday life...
We would like to inform you of the sad and devastating news that Gergely Kósa (128367), founder of the Hungarian division of IVAO, thus the first HU-DIR, former member of the IVAO SoftDev team, ATC and pilot instructor, passed away tragically at the age of 42.
Gergely signed up to the network twenty-two years ago as a young physics student at university. His dedication to the IVAO is best demonstrated by the fact that by 2004 he had gathered around him the Hungarian members who had been trying their wings in the virtual skies without belonging to a division and founded the IVAO Hungary division. In his spare time he prepared training materials for future pilots and pilots, spending countless hours teaching and examining them to the highest (at that time Instructor) ratings, not only in the Hungarian division but also throughout the network.
For our older members, the name of The Eye (IvAe) software, which is actually the predecessor of today's Webeye, may sound familiar. Although it has been out of use on the network for a long time, Gergely has also added value to IVAO by creating this software.
In 2016, after a long hiatus, he briefly returned to the network as HU-ADIR with a single mission: to save the division from closure.
His incredible knowledge, dedication and selflessness left a lasting impression on many of us, and I am sure that all of us who knew him have a fond, funny or even instructive memory of him or her.
Rest in peace, Gergő!
Thank you for everything! 🖤
