Death of an old friend
« on: March 17, 2025, 11:38:54 AM »
Gentlemen,
I haven't flown in AH for several years due to eye surgeries and hearing loss but several years back I flew with my good friend Hawker. Hawker (Wiley)passed away last month from Pancreatic cancer and I ask that all my fellow Aviators remember him and his family in prayer.

So Hawker use to fly as Wiley in game?

Damn that's really too bad to hear. Had many great fights and sorties with the guy. He was a solid stick in the game and very fun to fight with and against. Sending my best to his family and friends.

I think Wiley might be Hawker's first name.

Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Very good. I really couldn't remember when I saw him flying last.
