November 22, 20177 yr I had the pleasure of flying with Paul for 3 years and 2 deployments. He was as good a dude as they come. Rest easy, brother.
November 22, 20177 yr I flew with him as a young nav and ran into him again as a 38 stud at DLF. I saw him in the hall not 15 minutes before we stepped to fly on Monday and we talked about hopefully flying 4-ship together for old times sake. One of the most gregarious, over the top, talk your ear off for hours larger than life guys I've ever known. F*ck, this one hurts. I'll miss you brother. Edited November 22, 20177 yr by gohornsgo
November 22, 20177 yr I knew him in field training and ran into him again during pilot training. What a great dude. Made field training a riot, and great support for a dude trying to figure out the transition from navy 34s to the 38. Very sad day in the aviation industry. He will truly be missed. Him him.
November 23, 20177 yr Dang - new T-38 seat and a supposed mayday call. This is one SIB report I'm eager to read...
November 23, 20177 yr to stuck. Crossed paths with him multiple times over the last 10 years...great dude. Rest easy buddy.
November 23, 20177 yr SIIC/Stuck was one of the best dudes you'd ever hope to know. The Buff community is taking this loss hard. Him him
