This is "Tailspin" Randi Lynn Mckenna at age 10, She was taken from us recently by a hit and run driver, E2hawkey sent me this pic today and I thought those of you who attended her memorial flight might like to see her, again my thanks for attending, if you missed the film here is a direct link to it.

Rest in Peace

[MotleyCH]

Prayers sent to family and friends.

Sorry ... Let me say first off that if my increasing suspicions are wrong, and if I offend someone by asking, I'm truly sorry.  

But because this keeps coming around on the forum, I simply have to ask - can someone please point me to a news item anywhere that confirms this?  

When this was first announced, I immediately searched the news archives, but found nothing. It was mentioned in the AH forum that "it wasn't in the news because they still notifying family members" (paraphrased, since I don't recall the actual wording) - it seemed extremely odd both because when a child is killed by a hit and run driver, it generates a massive amount of news, and the police are making a tremendous effort to involve the community in helping them find anything that might lead them to the driver - and because it seemed like an odd thing to even say.

But ... each and every time this has come around on the forum, I've searched, and there is still nothing in the news.

If the family lost their little girl, then they have all the sympathy and prayers I could ever offer.  

But I guess what I'm saying is that I'm starting to feel as though there is an ever increasing possibility that we might be just being played here.  

If I offend anyone by mentioning that I'm becoming increasingly skeptical, I apologize.  But... I have to wonder, when I can't find anything anywhere in any of the news archives regarding this tragic death.

Don't feel bad, I thought the same as you when I heard of it, I tried to find a record of a player with that ID in the score records and there was none, so you weren't the only one thinking that, like he said I apologize if it's true.

Again I want to thank Yanksfan for the wonderful film that he produced for the Memorial Flight, and he showed us all what an "Ace of Aces High" is truely about.  He is truly and Ace in my eyes, he has always showed respect towards other's in the community, and is always there to help anyone who needs it.  <>

For the few of you that will come in here on an open forum with no tact,  or an ounce of decency, you should really take a look at yourselves real hard.  If you must know something so sensitive, then use your brain, or even ask someone that has one. "Think".. if this was your neice, or someone very close to you, how would you feel when you hear, or even read what you have posted.  My God People, do ya not have any dignity, or even self respect.

If you must know, contact myself in the arena, not in an open forum where you get your jollies.

god bless the warm hearted  and Hell will warm the cold    sorry for my Rant

[Major Biggles]

hawkeye i don't think they mean to be offensive.

there was an incident a while back where some squeakers pretended that one of their squad had died or something, and we staged a memorial flight for the guy before he posted on the boards laughing at us for being so gullible IIRC (it was quite a while back now). it was one of the lowest and most pathetic things i think i've ever seen.

things like this have happened before, so people are reluctant to fall into any pranks that are set up by dumb kids who greatly disrespect genuine tragedies such as 68KO's death, and that of randi's.




so please don't be angry at people who have doubts. we want to make sure that geniune losses like this are well respected and mourned.

i never flew with randi but was really sad to hear the news of her very unfortunate death, and i was honoured to take part in the memorial flight

[yanksfan]

Seems, Tailspin Randi Lynn, flew mostly H2H, I have seen her with my own two eyes in the TA, I have talked with plenty that new her.

I have spoken with Eaglehrt and i have spoken with E2hawkey on this very subject the circumstances of her death are a private matter and I am satisfied with that,I need no further proof or explanation.

 May she rest in peace and may God bless her and keep her always. Please show respect and let this matter be at an end.

I upped with her quite a few times in the h2h arena's so yes, this callsign did exist if that's what your insinuating but I do believe that there's been nothing released due to a gag order requested by her dad...
May her soul R.I.P. and know my thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
