John - Great Pilot and Colleague.
I crewed many times with John during 1990-92 at NHSL. John would quite often be offered a nice meal for lunch by the staff on the Pelican platform, who obviously knew and appreciated him and, it usually meant a plate for me as well. The last flights in were especially worth it too...it would most times mean a large cup of Trini coconut ice cream, and good conversation for the return trip. John was probably one of the most laid back "easy going" people I have worked with, and he obviously enjoyed the whole concept of flying in a place like Trinidad. There were many times that John would offer to stay, to do the ground runs for the evening compressor washes, and regardless of my objections and assurances that it was my turn, he would insist that I could go home.
I will always have these wonderful memories of having met and worked with John Wilson...God blessed you John.
