Oh no, Dragon flew with us in FSO and MA for many years. He always had a good story, a great attitude and always helped a squaddie. This hurts.

A true KN legend and a great man who I'll never forget, rest easy Ron.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO  :furious
  Dragon was my Second Gentile (not a BlackWidow Squad Mate...that I hooked up with TIR), in the FIRSTPAR Pay It Forward Club! From 2016   Chilli was FIRST....BUT Dragon was the feller that Solidified my Pay It Forward endeavor/Attitude  :rock   He was Down Right Giddy, when UPS showed up!!! Chilli was also as Giddy...but I got to fight/fly with Dragon, more often!
  Both of us, being Disabled, we shared some GREAT STORIES, along the lines of "FU Disability"!!!  Cue Monty Python's Holy Grail clip...."I Have Me 190-A8 to fight you with!"   "Sir Knight,
I have a Spit 16 and you are Vanquished(paraphrased)!"

Last time I talked to him...He was saying he was "BBQ PIT MASTER" :O  Propped his feet up towards his Wood Stove...and cooked off a couple of toes!!!!  Neuropathy and Diabetes...nothing to mess with? That "Cooked Them Off" attitude, solidified him into my Family! RIP BROTHER  Was an Honor, to meet ya! :rock

Goodbye Dragon.

Always loved flying FSO with you and KN when I could.
You were positive mental attitude personified, and the place won't ever be the same.

He just got back to playing and flew with us Friday, if only we knew it would've been his last.

Such a great guy and it seemed that no matter how life knocked him down, he got back up with what I can only describe as the most incredible attitude I've ever seen from a person.

Blue skies and tailwinds to a military vet, great person, friend, squaddie, and valued member of the CM team. :salute
