WHAT A GREAT MEMORIAL ! ! ! ! SALUTE TO ALL THAT MADE IT.
Sorry I didn't get to make it I took my meds and the pain pill put me out for about 5 hours.  Pipz was a great guy and is missed by all.

was great to see everyone, turnout was 70+  at one point and I know there were many more that couldn't make it.  Would have surely surpassed 100 on another time.   

Pipz might not have won any flying or fighting competitions but he sure as hell won our hearts and minds.

Rest In Peace brother and we will see you when we get there.     :airplane:    :salute

What a touching, emotional event! The one person whom I would have loved to see there had no plane or icon to see, then again he was the one who really was there in spirit.

It still is so hard to believe that I keep looking at the message bar in hope to see Pipz, wanting to read his comments about this last week starting from the first post in this thread, ending to the memorial flight. Maybe someday in another place and time.

KipPipz!  :cheers:

Yes, when I first heard what had happened from the Facebook Aces High III (the unofficial AH) group, I was in disbelief. Pipz was the one who always saluted us finns with his famous "KIPPIS!" shout and as of late when we have gotten less active on AH arena and I used to fly alone, Pipz invited me to loose deuces radio despite the fact I was drunk as a skunk. Very kind spirited chap he was - seeing so many people attending his memorial flight sure did state this fact.

Great loss to the community :salute

 According to his sister, Pipz was a great guy full of life. It was no different online. I never got to meet him in person, but he was my friend in Loose Deuce. It was always lively with Pipz online. He was so full of life that when I heard the news, I thought it must be a joke. Unfortunately it's not a joke.

 My friend, I will miss you.
