John Billings

Such a shock that he's gone. It seems wasn't that long ago I spoke to him on the phone. It was always a valued experience meeting or talking with him. I appreciate his invite to stop by soon. He was such a rock-solid figure to me, so technically proficient, and what a patriot! He helped to get modern aviation started. John will always be remembered for his daring WWII bombing raids and OSS missions-Operation Greenup being one of the most well-known.

I have known hundreds of WWII...

John, friend, mentor, and inspirational "compass". He accepted an invite to be a guest on my radio show (https://wingsaroundamerica.com/2017/07/23/listen-to-captain-john-tonight-sunday-july-23rd-2017-at-700-pm-eastern-live-on-the-internet/#) and started a warm friendship to include a visit to his home and calls along the way. I personally remain richer for his time spent and indebted to his kindness, love of aviation, and perspective. Barb, my sincerest expression of love and support.

My condolences.

With deepest condolences to the family of John Billings. May the God of all comfort be with you at this time of sorrow.
