Mr Isaac Newton Burchinal Jr.

So sorry to hear of Jr.s death, was one of the best friends I ever had, he taught me to fly in 1952 and I will never forget him.

My condolences to the family of Mr. Burchinal. I met him in 2005 when my wife and I stopped to look at his Martin 404 airplane in Paris. I flew that airplane in 1969-1972 when it was owned by Southern Airways. Mr "B" was very gracious in letting me photograph the plane and telling us his story. I later wrote an article about that meeting. (See "Jim's Story" at southernairways.org)

I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. We all have lots of fun memories from the Flyer Tigers on Sunday afternoon. My prayers are with all of you.
