It´s taking me this long to post and process losing a great work peer but more importantly, a good friend. I miss our dynamic in the flight deck along with our friendship out. Work was never work when flying with David and overnights seemed to just fly right by. Laughing at dinners or just making the best of any situation we were in. We were supposed to hike that B -18 crash site this summer together up in Woodstock, New Hampshire. I´m headed out to complete our mission on 10/11/2023. I promise to make it almost as much fun as if you were there. I´ll place two American flags for us at the top. Along with my own special memorial for you. Will always remember our great times. Words cannot express how much you´re missed. Picture from the summit to follow.
