“Everybody that flew with Robert Sundown felt safe': A standing-room-only crowd filled Bethel’s Yupiit Piciryarait Cultural Center on Tuesday as people gathered to remember the life of renowned pilot.
The community gathered at the Yupiit Piciryarait Cultural Center to celebrate and honor the life of Robert Sundown on May 23, 2023 in Bethel, Alaska.
More than 200 people stood by as members of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Honor Guard came from across the country to perform the ceremonial folding and presentation of the flag. Sundown was with the agency for more than 22 years. Sundown’s family members performed a traditional yuraq dance in his honor.
Sundown moved to Bethel in the 1990s, where he worked as a subsistence resource specialist and then as a law enforcement officer and pilot for the Yukon Delta National Wildlife Refuge. He also worked as a commercial pilot, flight instructor and search and rescue pilot. Sundown was a longtime advocate for improvements to aircraft flight warning systems.“Everybody that flew with Robert Sundown felt safe.
