;) Thank you Bob for posting this. It really was a very fine tribute to Wing Commander Guy Gibson.

Thanks for posting this Bob.

It’s funny, I have done this twice.

First, I flew a friends pilots wing with me in the B-25, shortly after he passed. I even took them with me to Guam on a fuel stop there in the Gulfstream, which is where Ben was stationed with his B29 squadron. He was a good friend.

Second, I had a friend take a KIA Corsair pilots wings while flying a Corsair last year.

Great story on an aviation legend Bob.

Thanks again for posting.

And apologies to the admins, I know this isn't US related but I thought it was just too cool not to share. John, thanks for sharing your stories too. It's so cool to hear how these brave folks are honored even after their gone. i remember hearing about a P-51 pilot who flew someone's ashes up at Oshkosh a few years ago. Love that these people are being honored and that the pilots who are doing these flight are being recognized as well.

Here he is wearing a senior pilot wing, if only to legitimize this thread:
