Thank you all

I want to thank from the bottom of my heart everyone that came out to honor Betty in her memorial flight.
Aces is more than a collection of people from around the country and the world, it is a community, and Betty helped it become a community.
Fair skies Betty, you have your wings now!!

I met Betty through the FaceBook Group.  She was lamenting the fact her old PC couldnt run AH3.  I hated, it for her!  I needed an Upgrade to run VR, so sent her my "Old PC".  Fast Friends for Life!  Eh...first thing she did..."Cannon Slinging Biotch"(as she claimed was her real Nick name)  SHOT ME DOWN!!!!! :rofl  She had sent me a few messages, to "Call Me"....she called me Mr. President?  I was hard to get in touch with. My Son, had my phone and had it destroyed....My Mom...had new phone and didnt have her Phone # saved...@#$%   I will never forgive myself, for missing her calls. We had touched base after her Cancer Diagnosis...the calls I refer to were just days before we lost her.   "Call Me, Mr. President!"    "Helllo!!"    Those Cigs got ya? "How the F, do you do that? Yes..afraid so. You always seem to know what is happening before I tell you? You wonder why I call you Mr. President? You got  the CIA,FBI,NSA spying on me?  You knew I would be in my Typhie...BLESS YER HEART!  OK  I am sorry!" We joked about that First time back in AH...constantly :aokAfter the "I have Cancer" talk.....I totally lost Contact...son had My phone destroyed,moms new phone, didnt see PM here on BBS.......2 weeks later...WTF!!!!             IYKYK...She was "A Pearl"! She sent me a "Charm" Airplane, holding Colored Pearl for April..my Birth Month.  She will be missed! :bhead

Brother? Have you heard from Betty's kids?  I recall Allisa(spelling?) and was her son's name Devin?  I suck at Name Recall.  This has been a Current...under a year, since I talked with him?    On a brighter side....Betty had a 'Pit' named STUKA....yet she flys a British Typhie? Too funny!  :rofl  I always picked on her, about that!   "ADAM PARSONS!  I didnt start off with Typhie...my first love was 'Dora'.  Typhie has 4 Hispanoes?    I dove all in!!  🤣
