 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Oh, man.  I am astonished and saddened to hear this.  I flew with Pipz  in big week and just today asked him to fly with me in rabaul, figuring i,d for sure be flying with him again. Zack sent me a message about it and i thought he was joking. I can hardly believe it. <S>, Pipz, and my best wishes to his family.

I first read about this on Facebook yesterday, and am so sorry to hear this sad news.  I have known Pipz for many years now and whenever I logged into the game, whether in the MA or Special Events for a scenario or TDI, he always had a friendly greeting for me.  I will definitely miss him even though we never met.

<S> Pipz    :salute

Honestly I found myself agitated and saddened by the thought of him never logging on again... The game I played last night was filled with my whining on 200 last night about stuff I never would have and a the thought of PIPZ in the back of my mind all night I wasn't having fun the game wasn't the same for me last night.... This may take awhile

Sad loss for this game and community, Pipz has been here from the start, I remember him way back when I first started flying in the beta and first version of this game in 2000.  No kinder player in the game, always positive, and from his FB page was a kind person in his life, donating most of his free time to an animal shelter, even his lunch breaks.  His legacy is one anyone would aspire to have, all the kind words and stories regarding his character here, prove that.

I'm not sure who is going to co ordinate his fly by/farewell here, but many have mentioned the planes he loved to fly, the recent FM2 being a new favorite, the P39, and so forth.  The last model he completed was a beautiful LA, I hope it and the others are all represented in his flyby salute.
