The family of Thomas “Tommy” Farquhar set up the Tommy Farquhar Aviation Scholarship Fund at Prairie College in Three Hills, Alberta, after he completed flight training at Prairie Aviation Training Centre in 2023 and joined Latitude Air Ambulance as a first officer. Sources: [1]
Farquhar was serving as first officer on a Gulfstream G100 operating as Heartbeat 104 on Oct. 3 when the aircraft, on a medical transport from Bermuda to Boston, reported electrical difficulties, descended rapidly and lost contact south of Nantucket; debris was later found and the U.S. Coast Guard halted the search on Oct. 4, with all six occupants presumed dead.
