When I first came to the Flight Sim Lab, Dwaine was one of the folks I went to for so many questions. I'm sure I bugged him so much that he was tired of me. But he never showed any frustration and was so helpful to me and many other young engineers. He had a great reputation as an expert in flight dynamics and aero systems. General Dynamics / Lockheed was very dependent on his expertise. I believe he was a pioneer in the digital simulations that started in the old "nuclear building". I was so saddened to hear of his death. He will be sorely missed.
