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!

I am sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.

Interesting phraseology in your subject... ALPA connection?
