Just heard that Bernd passed away last week. I had the great pleasure of meeting him at one of (or both) Conventions I got to at Indianapolis and/or Dallas. My sincere condolences.  Please let me know if there is a memorial flight and I will do my best to attend.  :cry

Bernd "Damned Ben" Hauschildt's Friend Gerd Achtmer reported on Facebook to the "International Fun Group" that he passed away about 1 to 2 weeks ago. That info made it to "A kill has been recorded" and to "The damned officers forum."

Ben had a health scare and was in the hospital last year in June and he has not been active since May.

Damned Renegade is looking into this and trying to get more details.

RIP and  :salute  Bernd
Condolences to family, friends and loved ones.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
