Dead Friend Zulu of 777th
« on: April 26, 2011, 02:44:58 AM »
A dear friend of the 777th Squadron died April 24th on Easter Day. He was a good friend to everyone in the squad. As we remember the times we spent with him. Nothing was heard but tears and crys of our old friend. We will miss you Zulu :salute.  :pray :pray :pray

Zulu was a longtime member of the 327th Steel Talons, too.  He still joined us for FSO.

We wouldn't have even known he had health issues until one FSO he was explaining his absence the previous week with an apology and "I almost died at the hospital."  He had an unusual, entertaining sense of humor and an overwhelming desire to strike out on his own and scout out the enemy.  

I'll miss his battle cry.  I can only imagine how startled they were on the other side when they heard him coming.  


The 327th Steel Talons joins the 777th Demons in mourning the loss of our friend and praying for God's mercy.

Wow what happened?  Zulu was well known in the 327th. He was always a blast to fly with.
Always a guaranteed flight full of laughs, with his Battle Cry and antics.


 :salute RIP Zulu Condolences to all.

It's another sad day for all of us. I will miss Zulu's 'yuk yuk' call on vox and his constant chomping at the bit to fly scout.  I think the only times he didn't request to fly scout was when we were assigned buffs.  Even then I'm certain Zulu had the urge to fly off solo scouting in his bomber. FSO won't be the same without him. Farewell Zulu, may you rejoice in paradise scouting with your new pair of wings.
