Fly away Maurice, fly on good sir.....RIP.

What a rough draw followed by such a brilliant performance.  

The sky is a little bluer because of you, my friend.

My Great uncle was a West Point Cadet, class of 1940,  that then volunteered to go fly spitfires in the Battle of Britain before joining the USAF when the US joined the war. Won the distinguished flying cross and many other medals. He was career Air Force and retired as a colonel. I was about 10 when he passed but I always remember the awesome stories he used to tell me about flying back in the day. He had a MP-40 hanging in his office over his desk it was pretty badass.

The man was a dashing, handsome devil. Imagine those long long few seconds where the fire was burning him and he managed to turn the plane and bail out. Then the agonizing fall through the air to the ground. Then his war became fighting pain and recovering for years.

We who have never been on a firing line can only imagine the experience. I humbly salute them all.

Sterling Archer: Oh, my God. Are we out of Bloody Marys?

 

 

I probably put the double deuce in my top 3 episodes.

Bloody Mary, full of vodka. Blessed are you among cocktails. Pray for me now and at the hour of death, which I hope is soon. Amen
