Condolences, but I'm sure that's the way he wanted to go.

Oh FUCK, I just realized WHO you were talking about! He just retired a couple years ago, didn't he? May God bless his family in this time of need. I was just thinking of him yesterday.

You are correct Casca. It was two or three years ago. I was surprised to learn that the Navy allowed civilian contractors to fly TOPGUN aggressor force. From what I understand it was just outside the West Gate at Fallon. I am positive that you are correct about wanting to go that way, he hated the cube world. Found it to be suffocating. He was 52.

Just for information, that is a Ma Deuce. The thing on the front is the blank adapter for it.
