R.G. Smith - Pilot and Father has passed.

I'm very sorry for your loss, and it's admirable how well you put this thread together. I'll be repeating that story as faithfully as I can for a long time. That's how every proud man wants to be remembered. Have you ever heard the saying, "you are what you do when it counts?" To me right now, that means your father was an awesome pilot, and you're a great son for telling his legacy. You both came through when you needed to in the best way possible.

Thank you for sharing.

Crashaz,

I'm sorry for your loss. My father passed away in November last year. I was fortunate in that I was able to spend his last night with him and was there when he let go.

You would think I would be over it now, and I suppose I am, but every now and then I catch myself thinking "I need to mention this to Dad".

It will take a bit, but one takes solace in the legacy.

Damn, that was about as deep as I get online.:guinness:
