Tribute to Dave Stock by the Silver Falcons this afternoon.

Missing Man Formation

RIP Dave.

They shall grow not old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning -
we will remember them
How come every time my ship comes in I'm at the airport?

You fly high now Dave. Where the "air" is clear forever and one can "see" all.

My condolences to Dave's family.

This is not good news at all. Rest in Peace Dave it was an honor working with you at 1 Squadron and TFDC. My condolences to friends and family.
Don't be a show-off. Never be too proud to turn back. There are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old, bold pilots.

To Dave - continue to fly high and to his family and friends "May the good Lord bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand" during this trying and tragic time.
