Title: MEMORIAL FLIGHT FOR WIDELOAD
Post by: heeler on February 09, 2011, 02:22:37 PM: I was advised by Wideloads mother 3 weeks ago when i talked to her that he had passed on October 29, 2010 from cancer. I would like to do a memorial flight for him on Sunday 2/13/11 at 2100 hours central daylight time in the training arena. Dale's favorite planes were the P-38 and the Lancaster. Would like a Lancasters escorted by the P-38's, for more info contact me in the main arena. Thank you gentleman

Post by: AAJagerX on February 13, 2011, 06:42:39 AM: Decided to write something for Dale. I hope you all turn out for the memorial flight this evening.

"Fly With Me"

As I wake, I see my life,
A fire burning, deep inside,
All I want, and long to be,
I close my eyes,
return to dreams.
Windswept clouds, completely free,
All the skies belong to me.
Fly now sir, you aren't alone,
for in these skies,
I've found my home.
Very few come off the ground,
for in the air is courage found.
Blessed are we, who dare to fly.
We've found ourselves amongst the skies.
Soaring bird,
your heart is free,
Come spread your wings,
and fly with me.

:salute Wideload
Gonna miss ya buddy.
