Many of you know Sn1p3r from the hours he spent flying in Aces High.

He was a good guy and a hoot to fly with.
He loved this sim and had a fondness and respect for anyone that flew this sim.

Some of us were fortunate to fly with Brian and swap chatter over Roger Wilco as we flew on missions.

Brian's grandfather flew B-25's in WWII and he carried on the tradition in this sim. His grandfather would have been proud of how he carried out a mission with precision and Yankee know-how.

Last year Brian met and interviewed some bomber pilots from WWII and took the controls of a prop plane while he was there.

He shared some of this with his squadmates along with some photos.

I thought I would share a couple of photos with the general community. There is a great group of people who fly here and Brian "Sn1p3r" Pettingell was one of the finest.

Only knew him from MA, and knew him to be a great guy.

Sad to see someone that young with so much potential go lost so early
