Scott, Ryan K., and all the WIXers:

I would like to suggest a simple tribute to Gary Austin, by renaming the "Maintenance Hangar" sub-forum, as "The Gary Austin Maintenance Hangar."

What say you?


Tulio

Sounds like a good idea to me! Too bad we don't have a street or a base to name after him...I think that's the normal means of honor in the aviation world...

I commend you on that thought as it would be a great idea. Gary was indeed a great warbird lover and supporter.

Another question for Scott: Would it be possible to make donations true WIX for Gary's funeral? Any forum members who might be able to fly a missing man formation?
