S3 Series

Thanks for this info Phenix. My sympathies to his family and all who knew him. I wish I'd known him as well as some of you.

<S> Blue Skies Vadr

So sorry to hear of vadr's passing. He was a class act and will be sorely missed.

Blue Skies Forever brother <S>!

Had a few discussions with Vadr about history... Civil War, WW2 etc.. He was passionate and very knowledgeable, and took the time to suggest several excellent books for me to read. I wasn't a close friend but he put up with me and even let me be involved in some of his JG group's training.

My sincere sympathies to his family and friends.

Here's a toast!!!

I recommend FPO ( Flak Panzer Oil) but Jermiah Weed shall do just fine.

Try not to do this alone, and be sure to throw a nickel on the grass.

All of the above. Could be that Beaver and I are the sole survivors from 3DA, and the links are now broken on the S3 site that JABO has set up. But looks like Vadr got in on the 4th or 5th S3.

I finally met with him at the 2002 Con in PNS. Instant bonding.

Vadr finally got some help from Esme, who ran the only LW buff outfit for a coupla years. Meanwhile, a few of us kept reminding folks that we were not engaged in life-or-death actual combat, and that we had unrealistic range, altitude and radar models. Flight models were same for all, even if needing help.

If you look at Split's "look back" post, you will see the big difference from then. It wasn't flight models or super duper PS4 graphics.

Anyhoo, I salute the man, and I have missed him for years.

Gums sends...

<S> He was a good man!
