I met NB way back in Air Warrior days. AW and AH conventions and Blue Belle ice cream. I thought about him about 2 weeks ago and then I see the sad news here. I remember an incident in the game. I was in a B-17 formation about 5k at an enemy base and looked down to see NB tangling with 4 enemy on the deck. I said "You look busy NB, need a hand?". He answered "Yes, where are you?". I replied "Above you, on the way". I killed 2 of the 4 engines, cut throttle and descended into the fray. We were able to kill the enemy and limp home.
Rest easy my friend.
