| Subject: | Dick Russell flyover. |
ops,Found out that there will be a memorial flyover in honor of Dick Russel
l this month on the 29th at Spruce Creek (7FL6). I plan on attending. I hop
e we (RPA) can send a flight to participate. Dick Russell is a long-time Wa
rbird guy in the T-34 Association. He was one of the early active members o
f that group and FAST. He, Geroge Baker, Bob Mahanor, and others in the T-3
4 group were instrumental in helping RPA get started and accepted into the
warbird community. Dick was always pro RPA even when we were under the name
of "Yak Pilot Club" (How many of you remember that?) Support from guys lik
e Dick got early RPA spots in the airshows at OSH and S&F. From as early as
1994 Dick was one of the first to give encouragement, advice, and help to
that "Redheaded step-child with the 'Commie airplanes" Because of his healt
h, Dick has been out the seen the last few years but we did see him (along
with his oxygen bottle) at Med's memorial fly-over last year. There are lot
s of fond memories with Dick. The best is over the radio -"You're not going
to like this Bob." Dick Russell was a true aviator in every sense of the w
ord.
