Lost a friend and a FAC

I learned last night that "Sandy" Uber, with whom I flew as a Tonto and a Mike FAC died recently. He's represented faithfully with another name in my books, but the real guy was a quiet, funny man and a very brave and competent FAC - the latter saying more about him than most people will ever know.
Far left seated, Sandy. Standing is "Flip" Defillipi, and far right, myself. In the background is Dick the Drunk, my roommate. Note the "sanitized" tiger stripe camo. We flew with no name, rank, unit, or national ID.

I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!
All good Men.
RIP Friends.
The story of you and your fellow FACs is an amazing one of bravery, daring, and brotherhood. I am glad you were able to bring it to us.
Soli Deo Gloria
Sorry for your loss, Rocky.
And thank you all for your service.
RIP "Sandy" and thank you for your service
Thanks for all the very kind words from you here.
Good friends are hard to find and even harder to keep as we get older.
I've reread your two books several times now.
As great as I believe them to be, I sure do wish you finish the trilogy.
