Farewell to one of aviation's greatest

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...918199,00.html

This being an aviation forum attended by professionals involved in all facets of aviation, I feel a tribute to one of our own is appropriate. Ray Hanna, a former Red Arrows Display pilot and leader in the Restoration and Display of Classic Warbirds died recently.

The link will take you to the Obituary for Ray Hanna who is a legend among those involved in the restoration of classic aircraft and aerial displays. Hanna touched many lives during his time and was looked upon by many as why Aviation Professionals are a breed apart from the earthbound.

The obituary was written by 'Flying Lawyer' Tudor Owen, a noted Barrister who practices Aviation Law in the UK and a long time friend of Hanna. Aviation has lost a one of its greatest and my condolences go out to his family and friends around the world.

Ray, along with his son Mark Hanna who died in a BF-109 crash in Spain, will be missed by all those who knew them.
