So sorry to hear of Getch's passing. I was a clerk typist in the department where Getch worked. He was quite a character and he always talked about planes. RIP Getch.

Just saw this. You were a true aviator. You understood the love of warbirds and our look of awe at that majestic aircraft. Wind beneath your wings Getch.

Sorry about Getch. He consulted me many times with legal issues and repaid with inside stuff about the P-51 when I was president of California Warbirds. RIP, old Hawker jockey.

Getch is flying high. I am thankful for the time I was able to spend with him. He taught me so much - about flying, and about life.
