About My Dad
« on: June 20, 2009, 08:06:18 AM »
Flayed1 and I just received word in the wee hours of this moring that our dad, David, died while working at a mining site near Bethel, Alaska. Little is known at this point as to how he died, although we strongly suspect a stroke or heart condition. He would have been 62 at the end of this year. We will know more as time goes on. <S>

Skuzzy, feel free to move this post if you deem it necessary.

Sorry for your family's loss mate.

 :(
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB
