EAA493 Mailing List: Floating a pilot question/idea about Leon's Service

[Gerald Hatch (gf_hatch]

Hi All,

I was talking to Nancy York last evening and she was wondering if I thought it would be a good idea to have a fly-over during Leon's service which is set for Thursday at 3pm at a still unknown cemetery. A the moment, it is not a confirmed plan. However, I would like to find out what interest there might be in being part of a fly over. If there is a small group (2-3 planes) we may try a formation but a larger group would be better planned as flying in trail. As I said, at the moment, it is just an idea that is being put forward for discussion and comment.

When we moved to the ranch from Ducote, a fairly large group of Ducote pilots did a fly over of my hanger which was under construction. I was very moved by the effort and I know that Nancy and family would be also.
