As CO of the 69th, I can tell you this is a huge loss.
Loony was an excellent (maybe one of the top three) GV'ers in the game, but he could do anything well. He will be sorely missed by the squadron.
I want to arrange a commenmorative flight....All Knights and Bish, please fly tonight at 9:00 ET....take C-47's to 15,000 feet and drop your drunks over the center of the map.
The Hangar Bangers will join in in 262's, and attempt to kill as many of you as possible.
It's the least we can do for Loony.
