Title: TC's Memorial Flight
Post by: xanax on September 15, 2024, 07:03:16 PM
Thanks to everyone who upped for the flight and memorial, it was nice and heartfelt. It was good to see so many folks who haven't flown here in a while along with some of the current folks. I'm glad Lindsey got to see it as well.

Thanks to Mayhem, FIN3TIME, Ren and Fuzeman for you efforts seeing this through and making it work. Great job.

I'm pretty sure he had some smiles and laughs.

Thanks again...

To add to Xanax's thank you!!!

To Johnny's girls, Thanks you for allowing us to share in your grief and provide us with the opportunity to pay tribute to a fine man in our little way.  :salute

To the Damned who were able to make it:
Damned Mayhem, Damned Ode, Damned Foofghtr, Damned Xanax, Damned Max, and Damned Joker.  :salute
At least 5 Damned were unable to make it due to unplanned circumstances but they all sent their best wishes for Johnny's girls.

Other friends of TC that were able to show, fly and bid farewell to Johnny I want to thank them and recognize some of the older AH pilots who flew and enjoyed TC's company as he played an important part in each of our lives:
fuzeman, morfiend, Luft, SKu, JayZ, DropTine, Tex01, SIK1, KONG, ITZMAAM and tdgSHane.  :salute

I know there were a lot more up flying in the tribute and I missed mentioning them here. Reason? My fault. I appologize.
Maybe fuzeman and Mayhem or some of you other pilots can add to the list of Johnny's friends who flew today's tribute.

Salute to all of you, old friends.  :salute

I know but I am upset that i missed this great tribute to a great Man and Player of the game. Just wish the 7pm est stood a few others tonight were asking on 200 what time the Memorial was. I sleep a lot due to my bad heart and the meds I am forced to take

If you want my long film it’s available, just ask.
Didn’t think of it then as it got busy but I should have sent an announcement on the 906 channel so anyone in game knew it was ongoing.
Ren, you listed enough, don’t feel bad about missing 1 or 2.
I hope we could help with the healing process and TC would have liked it I think.

Thought of this drinking my first cup of coffee.  I don’t know what Johnny looked like, not that it matters really but could someone post a picture of TC? I’d like to see him when he was active and his body was still in fairly good shape. Thanks if you do.

Frodo and I were there to rep JG11,unfortunately I had to leave early as I had other commitments.


  I was a rough weekend as I had 2 memorials to attend and missed the air show. I was gifted VIP tickets for my Bday but my mother in law had passed and my old friend Jonny Spencer, that just seemed more important.

I think a lot of us that have been away for a while overlooked VOX and Sound settings :/

I did record the event with internal film recorder.

As soon as I get this to Gh0st and we have a place to store and share it (and other films) I'll try to post a download link.

fuzeman, thanks. I hated missing anyone who showed and I was dealing with a few minor Vox issues. I know for a fact we had some who wanted to be there bu were dealing with other RL issues this past Sunday.
I almost forgot I had wanted to ask if you could send me a copy of the flick. Old age ain't for the meek and timid.  I'd like to post it for the rest of our Damned who couldn't make it. We're still around 60+ strong and most with some flying, some lurking on our boards and others who still maintain contact on our private mail list. TC was 56 y.o. and looked good for his age. :)
If you can plz send a copy of the film to me at ren1795@yahoo.com.   :salute

To some of us old timers that haven't been active for a while made VoX and Other sound settings an after thought and didn't realize it until we were wheels up.

I did recorded it with the in game recorder.

When me and FooFighter landed on the Beach for some reason I had this Image pop into my head of Tequila Chaser sitting in a lounge chair on the beach sipping a Tequila Sunrise singing "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song) to his F4U parked right next to him.

He really did love that Big Blue Bent Wing B*+cH  :rock

Our squad had it at 7 pm ET and most had planned for that those that could attend. 
I looked at the boards to get fication from clara as I was  :rolleyes:  on the time myself.
I updated our guys to 4 pm and a handful attended.

My apologies for missing this event.
Workload has been a lil extreme lately in our busiest season, and my last.

Since my beginning in AW, I always admired The Damned and ACCS (Ariel Crowd Control Services) squads as prestigious and knowledgeable groups of guys.
Working under TC and some of you here in AW was a good experience, and could not help liking TC. Just an all around great guy, always good intentions. I learned a lot from these groups of good hearted clowns. :)

So I'm sad I could not make it.

Again, my apologies.
