Vale Big Al
One of Aviation's true gentlemen has been taken in in yet another incident in PNG. It's time to give the whole place the big dummy guys. Let them go back to the stone age where they belong.
Al was one of the happiest guys I ever flew with, even though Life had dealt him some pretty rough hands. He was a deeply religious man in the proper practical sense, though he never let the dogma get in the way of a fun time. His generosity both in and out of the cockpit is legendary and I know all that came in contact with him will mourn his loss. See you later Mate!
