Aircraft should be up to his squad/close friends IMO, but those 2 and his other favorites like the new FM2/etc should all be considered, perhaps a representation of all of them.

Loose-Deuce will arrange a memorial flight for Pipz  Saturday 8th Oct. 23:00 CET...

Is that Saturday 7th or Sunday 8th October?  If it's the 7th, I won't be able to make it as I'm away, but if it's 8th I probably will be able to.  I suspect it will be 7th though.  :(

Saturday is the October 7th, Sunday is the 8th

Is it going to be Saturday or Sunday that the memorial flyover is to take place?

I've known Pipz/Mark for 20 or more years going back before AH, he had come looking for me after some players told him to find me to help him better his BFM/ACM and he was always like how all of you have posted/spoke of him... Pipz and I always joked with each other every since that first initial meeting...

I imagine Pipz is sitting in the o'club in heaven with KGann, LW, RTR, Buzzard, Niff, X2Lee, whels as well as all the others we have lost too soon...they are up there telling dogfighting stories and talltales and smiling their sunshine down on all of us!

GODSPEED Pipz ~Salute~ Brother! You will forever live long in our memories....

Same here, 8th I will be able. 7th most probably not.

Now I can think more clearer.

I got to know Pipz in the old days of AW. In fact, I still keep some AW movies where he showed up flying. It's been a long time.

But that was the day he joined Loose Deuce squad that I will never forget. It was one of many nights joining TeamSpeak squad channel and then I heard a deep, strong voice talking with a sympathy that caught me up from the first moment. Since then, the level of enjoyment went to the next level in TS. You were there, playing Aces High to fly planes, to have fun with squaddies and to laugh with Pipz.

And there he was, everynight, trying to say spanish words to me, talking CIAOO BELLI to our Italian squaddies. There he was SINGING OPERA while he was trying to shoot someone's plane down. There he was trying to communicate with me despite my poor english listening level. There he was giving us a better life in AH.

Then I realized that me and the Loose Deuce were extremely lucky so that we could spent 1-2 hours with Pipz that close, one shining diamond for the comunity.

Destiny gave us a present, letting AH community to enjoy of his presence.

Thanks destiny. Thanks Pipz.

I know you are leading personally the attack to a better place.  :salute :salute :salute

2300 hours CET = 11:00 PM / = 1700 hours or 5:00 PM EDT / = 2100 hours or 9:00 PM in United Kingdom

Hope I got that right... Someone correct me if I am wrong please ... I have not accounted for the upcoming time roll backs .... and the UK time looks off to me, Badboy was always either 5 or 6 hours ahead of me, him in England and Me in North Carolina, USA
