Dudley,

We are sorry for your loss. I am very saddened to hear of BG Scotts
passing. I read "God Is My Co-Pilot" when I was very young and he had an
influence over me with my beginnings of interest in flying.

I am very saddened to know that I never met him, was never able to ask him
any questions about his exploits or flying. Or never able to share in
anything other than his book. A great loss to the aviation and literary
worlds.

Dudley,

That was in no way at all off topic . . . in fact, I would argue it was
very much on topic. I wish you had cross posted this to the Rec
Aviation Military groups. I am sure that the reactions would have been
similar.

BG Scott was a hero of mine ever since I saw the movie when I was in
elementary school. I came home very excited and was stunned by my next
door neighbor, the sweetest woman in the world, when she told me that
she and her husband knew Scott.

I do hope I will go to heaven and I hope heaven has a hanger somewhere
where I can sit and just listen to all the stories . . . just listen.

Blue skies to us and to those who have flown west . . .

John
