Indeed it was. Wife and I were supposed to be there on Sunday.

Glad you missed it.

It has happened to me once in my lifetime when I was around 10 years old and crashed 50 yards in front of me at an airshow. A replica mail carrier bi-plane killing one of the two people on board. It was many years before I attended another airshow after that as my dad and I had just talked to the pilot an hour before he took off.

I sobbed for a while watching the videos and photos. It hit me hard. The sounds in the video, just thinking about it, the tears develop immediately.

Terry and Len both retired from us within the last year or two (B17 pilots), Craig (P63 pilot) 777 Captain at another airline (my good friend’s friend). It’s just so tragic and a loss of words.

I felt empty watching it. Like any other tragic event, it’s best to not forget but not watch it over and over.

So sad.

Last pair of wings they earned were handed out by the angels.

Hug your loved ones, never forget how much friendship means, and above all, stay positive and welcoming throughout life.

Cheers to life,
