to all. Your thoughts and condolences have been more appreciated than any of us are able to express at the moment. For those who inquired, Bill passed due to cardiac arrest on New Years Day.
As to the business at hand.
The Memorial Flight for 68KO will take place 01/06/07 @ 1800 EST U.S. time.
We have chosen to make this flight in the Special Events arena so as not to disturb others on a typically busy day in the MA.
Because of the number of pilots from across the various oceans, we chose this time as a compromise to best accomodate as many pilots as possible.
The aircraft for this flight will be the P51D, as this was by far Bill's favorite ride.
At this point we haven't determined fuel loads, skins etc. I'll let you know when we have all of that squared away.
Thank you again on behalf of all of us. WeVERY much appreciate your support and texts etc. They most certainly are not going unnoticed by us.

R.I.P. 68KO
-
As much as I want to participate in this flight, I regret due to a work schedual that has me flying to Guam at that time, I will not be able to attend.
Please know that 68KO has my deepest respect as an honorable player of this game and as a person. He will be missed.
To the rest of the 68th Lightning Lancers, I am sorry for your loss. I would like to request that my name be placed on the flight roster in spirit if not in person.
Also I would like to request that at least one person film this flight from God mode and post it so we may all see what KO will see as a fitting tribute to a good man. I know in spirit he will be logged on and in colors leading the way.
68KO
Thank you.

I will not be at home then either....................
If a list of those giving condolences is read out on a channel I would be greatfull if someone could add my name some how...............
-
My prayers go out to KO's family and friends, as a member of this great community of people, he will be missed. Things like this are a grim reminder that it's not about rank, or abilities, it's about the friendships you gain, and comradarie that is enjoyed throughout our time here.
To all those who were closest to him, just remember, we mourn for ourselves, not for those passed. My families thoughts and prayers will be with you!

68KO R.I.P.

68 KO was a friend who every one liked not matter what team we were on.
i guess its times like this that really puts things in perspective about whats important. this virtual game is just that a game, but the people in it are whats important or the friends we make while we are on.

The Arabian Knights send their condolences to his family, squadmates and the AH community for their loss. The AK's have a long history with working with 68KO, especially in the special events areas and his loss will be definitely felt by all in AH and greatly missed.

Many of the **PigStompers**/347th FG as well...
The 68th Lightning Lancers, **PigStompers**, as well as DAMAGE, INC. and EFW-SOG all formed the 347th Fighter Group--especially for FSO Operations, so our very key brother has gone.
Not only extremely tactical, Bill's humor was one of the main reasons I kept a towel handy...to clean off the monitor from when I blew a half-houthfull of soda on the screen from laughing.
Talk about one guy being sorely missed....

If I was on and KO posted a mission I went. He was an outstanding Knight. I will miss him. I almost left my squad to fly with KO. YUP thats one AH pilot I will truly miss. Please give our respects to the family Hall. I have cancelled my AH account so I will not be at the memorial flight.

Hello all,
I am 68KO's cousin. I was very close to him and am touched by how close this community is. Is there anyway to get the film of the memorial flight? Would it be in a format that can be viewed without special downloads? Any help would be greatly appreciated. All your kind words have both lifted my spirits and brought a tear to my eye. Thank you. Tom

Its in the works 74ko. Sometime tonight or tomarrow ill be finished making it.
-
Surf if you get the video to me i can get it into any viewable video format. Its the least I can do for KO he was a great man. Even though it does look like you got it handled.
