Sadly , Vinnie died of his burns a year after the hangar fire.

I am yet to write two stories about spectacular emergencies that happened and my trusty Vinnie was on board for both.

Also, when my cancer revisited me, I had to endure eight months more chemotherapy so I am in a state of grace right now and have decided to stay close to home , close to the missus , family and grandkids.(and my sailboat)

You see folks , I have stared my maker squarely in the face twice now. Why am I not scared to die? I have packed two lives into one anyway and my stories will affirm this.

By writing of my adventures , I am living them yet again .... so bear with me.

I am only copying my stories here. I cannot abandon Avcanada.ca because they were all with me whilst I endured the chemical hell called chemo. The avcanada forum was part of my therapy.

The support has been fantastic.

I am truly blessed.

Did I not see a post that dissapeared from pigboat , asking about the engineer in the fire? And am I still flying the A26?

Its gone.
