pass long the news that we lost another one a week or so back:

Johnny
Byrd,=
"30", left us after a long illness.=20

RIP 30... Johnny was a real nice guy, a wonderful pilot and a great
WGC teammate. I will always fondly remember the contests that we
flew together..... He was a hard competitor, but also an unselfish
teammate, which combined to make the WGC experience so much
better for the both us us....

So sorry to hear this news...
