We deeply regret to announce the death of Burkhard Dotzauer who passed away on June 30th 2016 suddenly and unexpected at his home in Leipzig one day prior to his 65th birthday.

For many years starting back in the former German Democratic Republic Burkhard devoted himself in an honorary capacity to the Jet Model Community and was an active Jet competition pilot until now. He was an active member of the Jet Team Germany since 1995 and was taking part at numerous IJMC Jet World Masters.

Burkhard made outstanding contributions to represent our sport and the spirit of good fellowship of modelers all over the world.

His sudden death is a great loss for the whole family of jet model aviation which he always was a passionate enthusiast for.

All our thoughts and prayers are with those who are left behind and miss him, especially his wife Brigitte, family and friends.

We will always keep our good friend Burkhard Dotzauer in honorable memory.

In deep sorrow,

The IJMC Board

Marc Froehn, Chairman
