Brian,
Sad news indeed. I'm sure we all would send our sympathy and hopes for Johns family and close friends. The loss of a colleague is always bad news.
Alcazares48,
Glad you have found us, and your memories and opinions are more than welcome to a thread dedicated to the the aircraft, people and the operations it was involved in. Have no fear of your own reminiscenses, I bet you have a story or two to tell.
