I just wanted to let the community know, that on Sunday 4pm Eastern time, we will be conducting the Memorial. We would like to make it in a settng where everyone is all together. We will be flying over A5 in the training arena shortly after 4pm. I would love to see everyone show up in in 2 formations, 1... line the runway with gv's (tiger), 2... have a show of mossi's behind the V formation and bail behind and over the field as we fly past performing the Missing Mann. (PstlePete- will be flying the pink Spit, and E2hawkey will be center runway for his niece). Tailspin wanted to see more female pilots, and was working to be an example for all to follow. If we could make this happen, I am sure it would cause a littel smile to come across her face as she looks down. Yanksfan..
will be recording the memeorial for his tribute and film to be released later. I want to thank everyone for the support, and Honor you have shown for this young Lady that has been taken from us at a very young age. <<> Tailspin and "SOAR with the Eagle's"

You would think in my line of work...I could get used to something like this happening to an innocent child. It only gets harder everytime I see it or hear of it. My condolences and prayers to Tailspins Family and Freinds. I will endeavor to be there Sunday.
I can say for certain that she is....SOARing with the Angels.

Just a little more information, during the memorial we will have a 21 gun Salute.. with Tigers. (TY Zip) Everyone is invited to come show their respect to this fallen "Ace of the Skies". Please feel free to join in the Air Amoda behind the V formation(upon request.. please fly the Mossi, and bail mid field), and please; everyone let there be total Silence as the formation flies over, and the Salute is fired. All of S.O.A.R. really do appreciate the support of this community, and E2Hawkey sends his regards and appreciation from the family. This last flight will be filmed ( TY Yanksfan), and as a community we can show them how much more this community is, than just a game someone plays. We all make friends and form a brotherhood that last a life time. I really would like to see everyone there, and will hope for the support that I know this community will give for this very young lady that has been taken away from us. The flight will take place just a little after 4pm easter time; on Sunday. A5 in the training arena, the flight will enter from the SW. Thank you, and we hope to see all of you there.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Thank you for takeing the time to film the Memorial Fly Over, it was a very Honorable thing to do for Tailspin, Im sure she cryed tears of joy as she watched the Memorial from the Heavens above and saw that she is loved by so meny people.
I have been flying AH sence 1999 up until the closing of H2H, three of those years were in the Main Arena, and I have never read a display of Honor as I have here on this forum in the last few days. I you all. Im 46 years old with four kids and three grandbabys, I can not imagen loseing any of them, so it is hard for me to imagen the pain that her family has gone through in the last week or so.
I do not fly anymore, so I did not have the Honor of attending the Memorial, however, I would like a copy or the Memorial Fly Over so that I may have it placed on our website as Memorial Tribute to Tailspin.
God Bless you all for putting aside your differances and joining together as a family to pay tribute to our friends and loved ones that we loose in this community. God Bless
