The morning I got the news that my father-in-law had passed away I decided to enjoy the solitude of a hike at Henry Coe State Park. After climbing for some distance under the canopy of an oak forest I finally made the open range land of Los Osos Ridge.

The roar of jet engines soon broke the silence, too loud to be an airliner, I looked skyward to see 4 military jets breaking through the clouds high above. They were flying north-westerly, and most importantly, in a missing-man formation, either going to a memorial somewhere or perhaps for "Fleet Week".

It didn't matter to me, for at that moment the flight was for Al---he had a deep respect for military service and a passion for all things that fly. He would have felt very honored.
