Remembering Alan Arkawy & His Friends

6-14-26

If you will indulge me, this sad event has prompted me to use this last opportunity
to bring together the memories and friendships with all of those who have not yet left the planet.
We were all brought together thanks to Daniel & Montaine.

Here was my ride... Listen to that sound!

Here are some photos from the ride.
Images from the ground were actually taken weeks before my ride,
on the day Alan and Tom Cawley (RIP) arrived frozen, returning
from Florida with the former basket-case aircraft.
