Bill,
I'm sorry your son had to die at all.

I can tell you that I love
your son as well, because he shared my love of flying or he wouldn't have
been in that plane. As I walk with an eye turned skyward, I see him there,
and wink at his smile.



Thanks, Al,

Ever since my son would sit on my lap and "drive" my plane while taxing back
to the ramp, he had a life-long love affair with flying. From RC airplanes
to being the test pilot for Four Winds Aircraft, he lived to fly. He worked
to pay for flying lessons and after 4 years in the Marines, he used the GI
Bill for his advanced ratings. Until his untimely death at 25 years old,
Richard, in the words of an aeronautical engineer friend, was a "young Chuck
Yeager". May he find peace and fly free!
