Paul Shankland

Fair winds and following seas, Paul. My condolences to Paul's family, may the Lord grant you peace in the loss. I worked and flew with Paul in the VAW-122 Steeljaws in on the USS Forrestal.

I´m so very sorry to see this sad news Amanda. My most sincere sympathy to you and your family.

So sorry to hear of Paul's passing. His enthusiasm for flying and life, in general, was obvious. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

I haven´t seen Paul for many years but I remember him well from his time as one of my students at VAW-120 in Norfolk, Va flying the E-2C Hawkeye. He was a true standout pilot and a great all-around guy. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing the cockpit with him. There was no question he was destined to do great things and he obviously didn´t disappoint. I pray for God´s comfort to his entire family. RIP shipmate.

I met Paul when his wife Amanda served as General Manager for the Sedona Airport. I remember Paul as exhibiting great vivacity, a tremendous sense of humor, and unending love for his wife and family. Aviation was also one of his great loves. Paul always seemed so down-to-earth in spite of his brilliant mind and stellar accomplishments. Gone too soon. I extend sincere condolences to Amanda and his entire family on behalf of myself and everyone at Sedona Airport.

Paul was one of the finest gentlemen I ever met. He went to our senior prom in his Dress Whites! He will be missed.
