Title: passing of a great pilot....
Post by: betty on September 08, 2008, 04:38:26 PM
Not sure how many of yall know MacGlide, however he was a member of the TSM squad. Mac found out a lil while back that he had cancer. He had sold his horse farm and moved to California with his daughter so he could get his treatment and try to beat it. Unfortunaltly (not knowing all the details at this time) MacGlide had taken a turn for the worst. A squadie of his 420ace had informed me today that Mac had passed on. I would like to send out a BIG <<S>> to mac and the TSM guys for the loss of a great squadie. We all had some great times on vox and those memories will never seize to exist. Killuminati and TSM have been flyin together for 2 years or so now. I feel as if mac had been a part of our squad also unoffically because both our squads are so close. I am hoping to get with LuckTSM on a day and time so we can maybe have a memorial flight in honor of MacGlide.


again..<<S>> to mac...god speed good friend :(

From what I remember of him, he was a good sport & great to be acquainted with. I never got to know him more than that, but I got a good impression of him. True gentleman. <S>

  Mac was my first sim pilot buddy. TSM normally doesn't fly much expect on Wed < squad night>. Mac and I would spend hrs flying together on most nights. He taught me how to roll with Punch's and just play for fun. I will Miss you Macglide and will always keep in mind good times we had together . <S>

I never met MacGlide in the real world, but John was an awesome man.  He was quick to befriend me even with my silly callsign.  He was always quick with a joke and always sure to be laughing along with us all on squad vox when the tone for the night was set.   :D

I miss ya Mac!

I flew with MacGlide on a few occasions.  I remember him helping a group of us out for a few hours in the DA with some training.  He was a great corsair pilot, and I could never beat him 1v1.  He spoke very well and was a good person.

I will miss him.

High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.


Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee
No 412 squadron, RCAF
Killed 11 December 1941

Not sure what to tell you Betty.  It works for me in both Firefox (Save Link As) and IE7 (Save target as).  You may have to wait a bit or try a couple of times, but you should see a regular explorer window open to ask where you want to save the file.
