Another Pilot Flew West Last Night
« on: November 10, 2025, 08:58:34 AM »
Gentelmen (and ladies),
I have terrible new for the Ace's community. Hombre59 passed away yesterday of complications from lung cancer. This was all very sudden and a shock to me as his friend. I'm going to miss him and his humor during my evenings flying! Love him or hate him he was a good stick! He is going to be missed terribly! I just thought I would share with you all!

That sucks.

I flew with him in one of the BoB scenarios.  A great guy.

Rest in peace Hombre.. <S> . My condolences to his family. Terrible lost for the Checkertails Squad and the game. He was a great person, pilot, tutor and friend. As one of our squad leaders, he was always ready to teach and help. Absolutely will be missed in our daily time in the game by friends and foes...

Wow, I was a bit surprised he wasnt flying P51s in the scenario this past month..

More of these died suddenly turbo cancers... happened to a former collegue of mine.

Really sad to hear. Sending best wishes to close friends and family.

Dang this is a tough one! He was fun to chat up on range and his voice was so distinct. I will miss that!   :salute
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!
