Worked alongside John at Galeota from 1986 to 1988.
There is a story behind the 'Awacs' nickname but I cannot remember it now.
Always remember the famous line from John that he had more hours 'In Flames' (having survived 2 tours in Vietnam) than we had 'IF' - we were talking about Instrument Flying hours then.
I trust that you have some great fishing now.
RIP John.
