RIP =TBAS=Sshadow

[Talon_]

 

It is with a heavy heart that I write this, but virtual comrade and long-time friend of the community =TBAS=Sshadow very sadly passed away today in hospital.

 

We are very lucky that we don't have to deal with lost friends as real life fighter pilots did, but when they do come they hit very hard. He leaves a void that will always be present in our discord server & our community. His presence was always a privilege, welcoming new players and engaging with long-standing community members alike.

 

I encourage everyone to reflect on their own lives and perhaps anyone in them that they haven't reached out to in a while. Let's call our mums tonight. Time is the one thing of which you can never have enough. 

 

Fly safe up there Sshadow.

 

I am organising a mass formation in his honour tomorrow night on the Combat Box training server at 9PM London time. Please attend if able, we will be in CB discord voice.

Very sad news. 

 

My love to Sshadow's family and friends. Thank you for letting us know @Talon_

 

Clear skies

Oh my word! my condolences and best wishes to his family and friends. It was a real pleasure flying with him and friends on Combat box, he'll be sorely missed. I'll miss the fun Bf 110 formations he pulled together and his call outs on SRS as he herded the team into action.

 

Thanks for letting us know Talon.

 

Unfortunately I'm away from home and my PC at the moment, but will be thinking of him and you all.

 

Hope you have a great fly out for him

Bloody HELL!!
Another good one gone.

The world's fast running out of the likes of him.

[LuftManu]

Such sad news! He was a really cool guy and very dedicated bomber pilot. Really helpful with new guys and always having a good mood with everybody.
 
Condolences to his family and friends.

I had the pleasure of learning how deadly 110 is in right hands, during our many engagements...and at the same time he was giving me tips of how to fight better against him!

Fly high, mate

Condolences to his close ones. I would have been a part of that formation if I seen this earlier. 
I am in the middle of a situation myself. I always comfort myself when loosing friends or family. By this theory: 

There is no such thing as loss, it is only gifts. 
Some you have long time some short. 
But grief is physical pain, I guess we need it to get by.
