Man Down
« on: February 27, 2009, 10:48:38 PM »
I was informed tonight that we lost a great friend and pilot.

Cracklin has succumbed to an injury he received in Vietnam.  Apparently the shrapnel that he took for our freedom, finally took his life.

He was my friend, my wingman and my buddy.  I will miss him.  Very rarely does such a loss hit so close to home to me, but crackalakin was my bud.  I'm very upset.

Cracklin flew for PK1 and "Most Wanted" for many years.

I am proud to say that I flew alongside one of my hero's.

 :salute Cracklin God speed my friend

To say 'thank you' isn't enough, I hope you are in a much happier place without any pain.   :salute
