Default God Speed Harold Bettes

Harold Bettes aka Dissident on this forum has passed. Truly a smart man with a passion for seeking and finding ways to move the goal posts in a positive direction. His greatest help to me was the question he would ask to make me think of problems in a different light. He was the forum moderator for years of the AETC, a M/E that worked with SuperFlow, author, and possessed a great sense of humor. He will be missed.

What a shame, from what I knew of him Larry's description was right on.

My only real interaction was at a AETC conference many years ago but he seemed like a really good guy.

RIP Mr. Bettes.

I'm sorry to hear he passed away. back in 1999. I went to a class he conducted in wilsonville, ore. It was great, he had a lot of experience n explained every thing so you could understand it better. He answered my e-mails, when I needed answers about air flow. i bought a flow bench, afterwards. lol. best move ever. thank you Mr. bettes, RIP.

Sorry to hear this.
He was a very interesting man, who I had the pleasure to meet a few years ago in Colorado Springs .
He did a great job modifying and restoring carburetors too.
RIP, my friend

Godspeed Mr. Bettes. I purchased my flow bench from him many years ago and for several months afterward he would periodically call to offer advice. Extremely intelligent individual and freely volunteered his knowledge and experience. RIP my friend.
