Title: Another Pilot Flew West Last Night
Post by: CUTT on November 10, 2025, 08:58:34 AM

Gentelmen (and ladies),
I have terrible new for the Ace's community. Hombre59 passed away yesterday of complications from lung cancer. This was all very sudden and a shock to me as his friend. I'm going to miss him and his humor during my evenings flying! Love him or hate him he was a good stick! He is going to be missed terribly! I just thought I would share with you all!

Rest in peace Hombre.. <S> . My condolences to his family. Terrible lost for the Checkertails Squad and the game. He was a great person, pilot, tutor and friend. As one of our squad leaders, he was always ready to teach and help. Absolutely will be missed in our daily time in the game by friends and foes...
