Ain't that the truth

I have a million thoughts and feelings clambering in my head since I heard the news on Sunday Morning. I didn't personally know any of the guys who died nor did Les though he did work with the survivor till last year when he was posted to 3. But what Jerry Mataparae said was right- 'we' are a family in the Air Force and we do all keenly feel the loss and it opens old wounds as well.

Beyond the complete waste of three awesome people and the grief of their families there are so many things in the past few days that have made me sad and mad and frustrated . But there was one glimmer amongst all that. It came from Radar, who was a friend when I lived in Dunedin which makes his words even sweeter. Check out his blog post here.
