Tribute to Alan Rear

Postby Saitek » Wed Apr 18, 2007 10:12 am

I would just like to pay tribute to this man who passed away last week and who was a controller at Livewire airlines. For those of you who are members or former members of Livewire Airlines will probably know him and his passion for aviation and simulation. He was very dedicated to his work and was a real gentleman and respected by a lot of people. Affectionately known as Badger he was almost a father to many at Livewire. He will be sorely missed. I was really upset when I found out today.
A few lines in honour of a great man.

Taking to the distant sky,
Reaching forward; passing by.
Like birds and planes flying high,
Leaving us to say goodbye.
You've taken Wings; oh liberty!
We'll remember you Badger to eternity!
