Today, all messages to the folks that Vilkas whacks in his filed gun should say:

Host:  You have just had your bellybutton handed to you by an 80 year old man

Love ya Vilkas    :rock

As usual, plans were changed at last minute.  Sorry I was unable to attend such a special night in AH.  #S# Vilkas!  Hope you enjoyed it!

I can honestly say Mr Vilkas was overwhelmed by the well wishing he got in the SEA 2nite.

 It's times like this that makes me glad I belong to this community.

Thanks alot everyone who took a moment to add to the day and the weekend for Vilkas.

FSO was particularly moving with hundreds of salutes and well wishes just prior to take-off.  It was very nice and the man was really touched, I can tell you.

The entire night was special, and we had a great run and 'the wolf' celebrated with 1.5 victories himself.

Man I hate that I missed that. About two years ago Vilkas asked to gun in a set of bombers I was flying. On the 15 minute flight to the target I got to know him. I sat there with my jaw dropped in amazment listening to his story and bombarding him with questions. He was kind enough to indulge my curiosity and it was a privilege to get to know him.

 I think I have told that story a dozen times over dinner conversations with friends and family.

You just never know who you are going to meet in this game and as a WWII enthusiast I have to say it was one of the most memorable times I ever had in AH.

Happy Birthday my friend. Will see you in the skies.
