Ron Alexander, known among fellow pilots as a “quiet giant” of aviation, died Nov. 17 in a Curtiss JN-4 Jenny aircraft crash near his Peach State Aerodrome home field in Williamson, Georgia. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that witnesses saw the vintage aircraft take off before the aircraft burst into flames and crashed near the Candler Field Museum’s grass landing strip, killing Alexander and an unidentified passenger.
