Guys:

Karlton Corky Smith aka "Popeye" passed away Sunday morning after long battle with cancer. Found post on FB from a friend and fellow co-worker of his. R.I.P. Popeye! Thoughts and prayers to all your friends and family!

Now that just SUCKS!!  :sad:  Popeye was an awesome guy and I am sure he will be in a better place now but I wish he was still with us.  :angel11:


Any pilot that tells you he's never been lost is either lying or he's never been anywhere.

I truly enjoyed flying with Popeye. He will be deeply missed. Prayers to his family for their loss.
