Had a great time at WOH this weekend.
Met A few WIXer's Lady02, Spanner, Bomber Flight, Ryan Short, saw RickH very briefly and finally Brad


Great Tribute to Gary from the announcer during the B-24 passes on Saturday as well.

Never thought I'd see speed tape applied for a "classy" purpose.

Awesome!

That is a very nice tribute. Good work Brad. (Any chance it could become permanent? :D )

It is amazing how a few pieces of tape can make a less than svelte jet look so much better.

Very nice thought, Brad.

Definitely a great tribute.

Good to meet Brad and Ztex and reconnect with a number of folks and toast Gary...
We told a few flying/fishing stories after the dinner Saturday.
And I'm glad the Airshow announcers paid tribute to Gary during the show.

No matter how he felt about finally leaving the CAF, a bunch of us Cols. will always consider Gary family.

Out,

SPANNER

All I can do is echo Spanner's thoughts and words here.

All I can add is - it was good to meet fellow Wixers at Wings Over Houston airshow.

It was a great honour to be at the dinner table Saturday night when the toast was made to Gary's memory.
