I just got the e-mail that Chuck Horner (father of Mike Horner, "Mustang Mike" as he's known to many) a long time CAF Member, Retired Navy Chief, and a long time mechanic on the CAF Corsair, passed away on Friday.

He is one of the first people whom I met in the CAF many years ago when he was working on the Corsair shortly after the current Lancaster hangar was built and his many tireless hours of work (along with others) were what got me interested in the CAF through their work on the Corsair.

He will be greatly missed.

Godspeed, and God Bless! My thoughts and prayers are with all of his loved-ones, and friends in the aviation community. Thank you for your service.
