I'm sorry for your loss! I sense you've had an incredible set of memories, hard earned and worth every bit of it....from both of your loves. No doubt your wife fully understood and supported your second love, which makes for an awesome marriage. I hope in a few decades I'm as happy as you have been.

:airplane: Not only my loving wife, she supported all my activities in Aces High and usually, until the last 6 months, would sit and watch me fly in the game! She especially like to watch when we had a B-29 mission.

She to, loved to fly and I had taught her to fly in a Cessna 172, but would never let her solo, I just wanted her to be able to get herself on the ground, if something happened to me during one of our many flights together!
Blue Skies and wind at my back and wish that for all!!!

As expected, she was a truly amazing woman who supported the love of her life also.

:airplane: One of my loves, Barbara, had a memorial service today at 3PM. It was a beautiful service at the Ringgold United Meth church. Many, many friends of ours and some people I did not know was in attendance. I will be forever humble to that pastor and church for today.

We are having a memorial flight in honor of Barbara, at 8PM, EST, in the main late war arena, featuring B=29's. She would sit by my side during the times I was on line ,in the game, until about the last 4 or 5 months. She enjoyed all the banter back and forth and really like the dialog missions we flew and the B-29 was her favorite aircraft in the game, followed by the B-17.

Many, many times, she would actually be at the controls and I would handle the radio VOX. I never could talk her into using the radio. I taught how to fly in a Cessna 172, but as I said before, never would let her solo, just wanted her to be able to land herself if something happened to me during one of our many flights.

As far as God will let me, I plan on being in this game, until my eyes finally give up the ghost or worse, I have to report to heavens Air Force.
Blue Skies and wind at my back and wish that for all!!!

Outstanding job leading the herd tonight Earl!  Barbara would have been proud and I think she would have been disappointed if all those bombs got hauled back home.   :salute
