Silbs,
I think that you comments about banter and also of service could not ring truer.
The Mil Aviation community, serving, previously served or not have all come together once again.
May the families of the departed take great comfort that there are thousands of people who share the loss.
One big family we are. When we lose one of ours, we all feel the pain.
Once again, from Talk Wrench and Mrs Talk Wrench (a Benson Airwoman), we salute our fallen friends and offer our support to the families involved.
