Title: sfer will no more fly with you
Post by: cromagnon58 on December 27, 2008, 04:00:00 PM

Hi,

My brother died Dec. 13 of a heart attack during his sleep. It was his fourth in a month.
He was only 44 years old.

He was a very long time player first from warbirds and then aces high.
And he really loved this simulation and spend a lot of nights flying around.

We went together in warbird convention in Dallas in 98.

Is name was Stéphane Ferretti and Is callsign was sfer from SWISS AIR FORCE squad.

Thank you very much for all that fun and the nice spirit he had with you all.

I wish you a happy new year and remember to check 6!

The poem, High Flight, has over the years become a mantra to pilots.
It is reproduced here as a tribute to, and in memory of pilots of all generations.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
