Sleiman is still a great guy. I saw him at OSH this year and we will all
see him again when our turn comes to get that final clearance to that place
where we all go. He and Rodger can practice formation together.

eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long
to return. - Leonardo Da Vinci

The aviator stood at the Pearly Gates and awaited his turn in line.
Around him the sky was the brightest blue and the clouds high-white and
edged in a golden line.
The sun shown high and bright and the breeze was cool and fair.
"Great flying weather" he thought "I guess I'll like it here".
As he approached St. Peter who with pen on the scroll of life did mark.
"Ah! An aviator I see. Are you ready to embark?"
"Yes sir" replied the aviator, " I hope I'm still allowed to fly"
"Oh yes!" replied St. Peter "and you'll find the flying great.
"The lighting will always be way below you,
The stars will be close at hand,
Why you can reach out and touch them,
There in their sparkling band.
The radio beacons will be steady.
No crackle, buzz, or wrong.
Their signals sweet and steady
Not unlike an angel's song.
The aircraft are strong and worthy
With controls smooth and sound.
Their engines never cough or sputter
Like the Maker they'll never let you down.
Yes the flying Here is all you've ever desired"
However my son," St. Peter smiled
"landings Here, are not required."
