I am opening this thread with the death of an IL2 pilot I have flown with for years, 352FG_HO_D. Cancer got him a week or so ago.
He loved sinking ships with is Corsair, he was always enthusiastic in helping anyone sort out problems with setting up IL2, and he was never a poor sport:
If anyone else knows of an old IL2 pilot who has passed or has been disabled by age or injury so that they can no longer fly put it up here.
