What ever happened to movie pilot Jim Gavin

[Sergeant Rock]

Anyone know what ever happened to movie pilot Jim Gavin. He has flown
in more movies than I can count. Havn't seen much of him in some time.

[PR]

Jim is still flying and Directing/ producing.

I havent seen him in a year but when i did he was flying a DC-3 for a
movie.

He isnt flyng helos often.
