Rob Abernathy Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Sorry to sound so down, but I really miss my friend Neil Hill this Holiday season. Normally I see Neil 3, sometimes 4 times a year when I go to his hometown in WA where my daughter and family live. We'd always get together for a few hours, sometimes at his house and other times at a coffee shop or something. Larry R and Matt M have both joined us. Good times. He stays in my prayers and heart. A great and talented man I'm sure all of you would have enjoyed meeting. I'm happy the Old Coots forum was named for him. OND's thread on seeing the Doc certainly put me back in a good frame of mind!

Rodger Pettichord Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hey Rob. My sympathies go to you for the loss of a friend. May good memories of your times with him carry you through those bad moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Although I never met Neil, we talked via Skype and traded numerous e-mails. He taught me how to create airports for the Global Freeware Airport Pack. He never seemed to get tired of answering my questions not matter how dumb they were, He will be missed. And I suppose with his passing we will not have anymore updates to the Global Airport Pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I don't think that the other freeware developers will stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil always collected all of the airports and put them together for publication. Is some one else going to to this? I have few airports that would have gone in the next release and if it is to continue I would like them to be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for Your answer. I am curious because I want to rename one airport in my system to honor his name. (Perhaps S43 or KPAE or WA04?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it was payware but it was a favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
