ClearedHot Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It rips me apart to post this, Matmacwc flew west peacefully Christmas morning after a long fight with cancer. He bravely fought it to the end. He was truly a good man and a great fighter pilot. If your inclined to pray please pass a few on to his family. Nickle on the grass my friend. 🍺 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Wow. Prayers to the family. I am ashamed to say I didn’t even know he was fighting through this. How old was he?

DFRESH Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 @matmacwc was an amazing IP that helped teach me how to fly the Viper. A real class act and he'll be greatly missed by all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuggyU2 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) We had pm'd a few times planned to get together when he was coming out to visit relatives near me. I had no idea he was dealing with this. I will pray for him and for those that knew and loved him who have lost a treasured family member and friend. My condolences to those that served and flew with him. p.s. I never asked him what "Matmacwc" meant. Any idea, CH (or anyone)?

SocialD Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Did not know him personally but we had quite a few good PM convo's. I noticed a few posts here and there about being out on medical but he never brought it up. Terrible! Nickel on the grass! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLEA Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 A baseops original. I remember reading his post when I was still in HS, wanting to be a pilot, and I found this forum one day. Never knew him in real life, but sounds like he was a hell of a guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
