News Chopper Pilot Dies

Clark Stahl was the News Chopper pilot for KIRO (Seattle) for more than 30 years.

Yesterday he passed away.

Stahl started at KIRO in the 1980's as a backup pilot before becoming a full-time employee. He retired in 2012. During that retirement he remained close friends with many at the station.

"Clark Stahl was as good a reporter as he was a pilot... an invaluable team member for the better part of three decades here at KIRO. But more than that he was a husband, a father and grandfather, and a dear friend to all of us. He will be missed terribly, but always remembered with a smile," KIRO 7 anchor Steve Raible said.

Stahl, who was 72, will be missed by his KIRO 7 family and all those who knew this remarkable man.
