Preacher1 gets his wings
All of us ago frequent these pages are familiar with the wisdom and insight provided by Wayne Bookout, AKA Preacher1. Many of you know of his health problems of late, and I wanted to pass along to the FA community that our friend Wayne had "slipped the surly bonds of Earth" and met his Lord yesterday afternoon. I never met Wayne inn person, but became friends with him through conversations here and on other social media. I learned a lot about flying and about life from him. Fly high… (www.cornwellfuneralhomes.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Someone is cutting some mighty strong onions in here...
It was sparkie624. I blame him for the onions lol.
Onions can really clear some sinus's! LOL
So can’t horseradish sauce. That stuff is strong lol.
There's a saying among we aviators. It's very simple and we all understand. It goes like this.
"To fly West, my friend, is a flight we all must take for a final check". I like to add a bit of aviation procedure.
"Clearance, this is Preacher1" "Good morning, sir. I have your clearance. are you ready to copy?" "Preacher1, go ahead".
"You are cleared west, my friend, direct to destination, Angels unlimited, squawk 1200, no readback required. "God speed, sir".

Well Said....
Kind of a shock to see fresh comments on this man. I never met him either but his calm demeanor and knowledge was a obvious sign that he was a "voice of reason" at all times.
And you, Sparkie624, know that well.
I'm just about as choked up as when this squawk began 3 years ago.

It gave me a bit of a turn to see it pop up again, but it's good to remember.
The board was a more civil and respectful place that it is now. I prefer to think his presence and contributions proved to be a moderating influence that seems sadly lacking today.

Preacher1 was a very good man. He was well knowledge in aviation. He also held the blood pressure of FlightAware. When he passed it made a lot of people sad and depressed. He kept flightaware calm and going well. But also when he left flightaware went down the hill a little. Yes it’s still a great platform to chat about aviation but preacher1 was the heart and soul of it. He has been missed by many and I’m sure in 10-15 years maybe in 20-50 year we will still be missing him and hopeing where ever he is that he’s happy and in good spirits. Rip my friend and may we always remember you.
