Raising a Glass to Walter Soplata

Mon Apr 25, 2016 7:42 pm

It's been a rough few months but sometimes thinking of someone who inspires you helps you get through rough times. So with that I just hope everyone remembers Walter Soplata. He is one of my heroes and I've strangely been able to connect with him in a strange but indirect way(At least I like to think so).

Raising a glass to Walter! :drink3:

Cheers Walter! :drink3:

Extremely appreciative that I had the opportunity to have conversations with Walter ( albeit he sounded annoyed until he heard my passion for aircraft), also glad I've spent time with Leon, Nathan, and hope to share more stories/adventures with them. :drink3:
