You gentlemen should get this verified as soon as possible. I've found a 3\21\17 obit for a Robert Shaw who was in the Air Force out of Maine.

Trust me, there are several people working on just that.

Looks like he sold his RV in August.

Shaw was a naval aviator.....but ended in the AF reserve...aka he finally saw the light:)

"After completing active and reserve duty with the Navy, he transferred to the United States Air Force Reserve and was stationed at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, where he flew the F-4 and transitioned to the F-16."

Let's just say that Shaw and what he represents to Aviation history, is the reason that as a pup my eyes were drawn to the skies in search of those training maneuvers over my home.  Now, my eyes turn to the skies for another reason, to salute his journey home caressed by clouds and the most wonderfully appointed hues of sunset skies. 

Well done Robert Shaw.   :salute

Thanks for the PM. I got a hold of Moggy and informed him about Mouse's departure. He's informing Twist and a bunch of other guys.

There's a "Service of Thanksgiving and Comfort" at Banks Presbyterian Church on the 25th at 3:30pm

Banks Presbyterian Church
10012 New Town Road
Marvin, NC. 28173



There's also a Celebration of life dinner on the 25th but that's by invitation only.

Burial will be at Arlington in a few months. That's really all I have.
