Had the honor of flying with him in Tondelayo. He spent the weekend with us in 2009 while we were in Dallas. Such a great and humble person...and a great stick. I asked him “when was the last time you flew a 25?” He said “last month”, it was great that he was treated with such celebrity. Never forget.
