Tribute Prints
Chief Pilot Tom Lynch, Captain Brian Bruns and Captain Paul Cockrell perished one short month from the day that Chief Pilot Tom Lynch replied to my e-mail inquiry about the T –00. They were on a training mission preparing for the upcoming fire season when the accident occurred. In honor of these brave men, I painted a pastel of the aircraft, the T- 26. A personal presentation was made to Aero Union Corporation as well as the families of the fallen pilots with prints of the T-00 and the T- 26 last October in Chico, California.
I’ll never forget the last paragraph in his e-mail to me,
” And just so you know, it is us airtanker guys that are ever grateful and inspired by the work all ground firefighters do, we are in business to support YOU!
