This is quite a loss!  We used to fly together a lot back in AWarrior.  I wondered why I hadn't seen him much in the last year or so.  He was indeed a great person and will be sorely missed.  May Mac rest in peace. :salute

All the Best...

He was in bad shape from Back injuries and Diabetes complications.   Fred and I would chat on the phone a couple times a month from 2003-2009.    Fred will be missed by myself and others.

Back in AW FR, Mac was 1 of the 1st people to make me want to learn how to fly fighters. He would shoot me repeatedly, over and over. I searched and searched for a plane I could learn and beat him with. It didn't happen for about a year and a half but finally in a yak I finally was able to win a fight.

He more than any single person provided the angst for me to learn and get better in this silly game and of course started my love of the 38 <G>. We weren't great friends or any thing but I respected him as he was of of my first menacing mentors all those years ago.

I will never forget him

 :salute Mac
Godspeed

SWmac, before that LTARmac, and before that AWmac.  So saddened to find this out today, a true friend, a true brother in arms.

The 125th will be scheduling a memorial flight honoring SWmac.  I'll post a time and date when available.

Salute Mac!

Probably a "you had to be there" moment for most, but still . . .

While in LTAR we were once trying like heck to take this vbase.  With quite a few stout defenders, we weren't doing too terribly well.  We had the VHs leveled a couple times, but between the survivors on the ground and air cons coming in, we just couldn't seem to take it.

We finally had two goons circling as we tried to finish off the last tank on the ground, but we knew the VHs were about to pop . . . and pop they did.  Out comes 4-5 osti's firing every which way.  As we drop a few bombs, a couple of high air cons show up, and in short order both goons are going down and I'm about to start cursing our poor luck again.

Suddenly the base is captured, and the auto ack starts shooting the ostis and at red cons.  And here's Mac's best deadpan voice . . . "Aw, man, they had a goon parked at the maproom."  With Mac at the controls, of course.

He never seemed to take much seriously, especially not himself. 

We had already been missing him for a while, and it's sad beyond words to find out he won't be returning to us this time.

Miss you Buddy and all the fun we had on and offline.. My good friend Fred.  :salute

I remember the night that you and Fred were telling me about this I think the Depends were needed. I know no matter where is now he's looking for a practical
joke or a PETA Board to troll.
It took me a couple of days before I could write here or even look after the initial post, very sad news about a very special friend.
