Sorry about your loss Boyd but you're right they were doing what they loved to do.
I really wish I could've or would've finished school but as fate has it I'm a Chair Pilot now.

Mark,
Thanks for your response to my query on fellow aviators.
Sorry that the moving, fickle finger of fate paused to abbreviate your flight training. Not to exacerbate the loss of your dream to join the ranks of hundreds of the best pilots in the world, who ply their skills in unbelievably adverse conditions as Alaskan bush pilots, I must tell you that I’ve already lost two very near and dear pilot-buddies to the unfathomable, interminable ferocity of Alaskan weather.
The only solace to be taken, is in the knowledge that they died doing what they loved.
I got an email from “Talladega Greg” who’s doing fine apparently. I like to keep tab on all the “fly-guys” and girls out there.
Thanks,
Boyd

Hey Boyd,
I'm no expert on flight but I use to fly out of Corona California, I had around 36 hours logged in a Cesna 152 and about 10 hours of solo and I moved to Oklahoma to start going to Spartan flight school but in the process of trying to make a living and survive never made it there.
I wish I would've finished I was wanting to go to Alaska as a hunting guide/Pilot. My intructor took me up in his Piper Cub one day also and that was a blast! Mark

Thanks for the reassurance. I like to keep tabs on folks who know a lot about aviation. Perhaps he’ll say “hi” one of these days.
