Jack Smith was an ex Royal Navy fighter pilot. He would have known how to assess the potential risks flying out of Viet Nam. Jack was a gifted pilot and a great Captain. Jack looked after his people. Jack gave his time and love to a children's charity. Jack was the tireless Administrator of the Hong Kong Region of GAPAN. Jack was the best friend you could have.

Jack is a legend, and I count myself most fortunate that Jack was my mentor.

They are few who could emulate Jack Smith as a pilot, instructor and a gentleman of the 'Old School.' Jack is, and shall be, sorely missed.
