Old-timers may remember Eustace Bohay, who was one of the early adopters of
sharing RV building expertise with others online. He was a big poster on the
Matronics list back in the day, and was quite active in the Western Canada
wing of Vans Air Force.
He died on this date 9 years ago, and as I recall, his passing didn't get
the notice it probably should have because Scott Crossfield died on the same
day.
But I got this email today based on a post I'd written some years ago and
because I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bohay, I can't supply the
answers he's seeking. But I'm hoping someone else can.

Sir;
I was doing a bit of internet research on an old acquaintance named Eustace
Bohay, and came across a post of yours from 2006 (!) referring to the death
of someone with that name.
The Eustace Bohay I remember used to fly in and out of Hay River, N.W.T. (in
northern Canada) in a P-51. He was a friend of my employer at the time, and
what I remember most about him was that Mustang, and the sound of that
Merlin on takeoff. Our shop was right off the end of the runway, and he'd
make sure he came over the roof at about 30', and full bore. I'd be all the
rest of the day getting the grin off my face.
I wonder if it could be the same guy - I was just a kid then (in the late
'50s and early '60s) and admit I don't recall a lot more about him. It's not
a very common name however, and adding the element of aviation makes it seem
even more possible that it's the same guy. I'm not even sure what his
business was up there, but it would have most likely been related to either
the construction boom of that era, or the (then) thriving commercial fishery
on Great Slave Lake.
If you could shed any light on him, or point me toward any relevant
information, I'd be most grateful.
Thank You,

I used to thoroughly enjoy Eustace Bohay's posts when I was building and the
early years of flying my RV6. As I remember, he was an elegant wordsmith and
I would so love to read some of his posts again. He had a way of describing
the joys of flight like few can.
I greatly miss his participation on this forum. The link below is a video I
made with my son that reminds me of the many of Mr. Bohay's posts describing
similar experiences.

Best to all of you,
