I really wanted to participate in this, had alarm set and all. But sadly real life got in the way and I just could not make it home in time.

<Salute> Capera, I always enjoyed flying with you. And you were so often on our squad vox that I always thought of you as a squaddie. Have a pleasant flight in the eternal skies my friend. I will wing back up with you when my time comes. Until then :salute

Wow! What a fabulous turnout! Thank you to everybody who participated and again my appreciation to Jaeger1 for his help getting things set up and keeping things rolling smoothly.

Good drills Max and Jaeger1  :salute

Beautifully done. 

The missing man formation was fantastic.

Certainly emotional.

Here is a link to part of the memorial in .AHF film format.
It is 13.09MB and I put it up on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rWwMUgIgJGrRKfHu72wJ0hf-d22H2eZV/view?usp=drive_link

Anyone with the link can download. I've been to several memorial flights now but that one was the most emotional by far.

I didn't mention it but 99Capera and I couldn't stop laughing about an idea he came up with for the WW1 arena. Pops03 is usually there at 9PM so 99Capera, Biggles, and myself were going to show up and fly as Pops04, Pops05, and Pops06. He was all in. We never flew it but we created the accounts and were ready to use them. The timing never worked out but it would have been fun.
