I still remember the night we got the news...

I remember the memorial flight as well.

It was an honor serving under him. I'm still a Dickweed, but I can't play since my computer broke over a year ago and being homeless for a while, but I'm ready to get my 17 back in the air with that DHBG logo on it.

I am glad this was bumped.  I was in my hiatus when Vega passed and had no idea.  I fondly remember him from WBs and AH.  He was a great member of both and super classy.  Until reading this thread just now, I had no idea of his background and his accomplished life.

Yes, it was 4 years ago this year, the thread was revived by Zipity, one of our Pilots who had lost touch with the Dickweeds.

Apologies for the bump, but I hope you all understand why the thread was revived.

Salute

PS : A great video of the Memorial Flight was made by Bullit, you can see it here

I had never seen that video until now....

I'm not even going to bother pretending I've got something in my eye...that video made this Devil Dog cry.
