I have known Vega for almost 10 years now, he is the one who introduced me to Aces High.

Vega flew for American Airlines for 37 years before retiring.  Vega was far from flying however.  He would always send out pics of him flying his bonanza and the latest aviation news.

He has been the CO of the DHBG for over a decade.  He ran it very well, and had the respect of all who flew with him.

More than flying with him on squad nights, I am happy to have known him.  He was definitely full of life and it showed.
He was one of those guys you just want to be around.  It was a kick in the chest to hear he passed on.

<S> to Vega, you will be missed my friend

Vega, you will be missed. Condolences to Vega's family.

I have admired what Vega & the DHBG have maintained in this game for a long time. His bomber group was the inspiration for starting our 91st. So sad to see him go. :(
If and when there are any plans to honor him in this game, please let me know. The 91st will be there.

Prayers.
