April 1, 20206 yr Very sad to hear this news. As was the case with Avsim founder Tom, I didn't always agree with Jim on everything, but I always admired their commitment to Avsim and respected their opinions and advice, even when they differed with my own. And so I know that whilst Avsim will continue to build on their legacy, it won't quite be the same without them. But they've got a better pair of wings than all of us now. Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, – and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air… Up, up the long, delirious burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or ever eagle flew – And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

April 1, 20206 yr My condolences to his family.He has helped me out a few times.His knowledge will be missed. nebojsa
April 1, 20206 yr We knew he was ill, but I always thought there was hope. RIP Jim and condolences to his family & friends. I was pleasantly surprised when he once messaged me to thank me for supporting a moderating decision he'd made (cannot recall if I liked his comment or upvoted it, no matter!). His knowledge will indeed be missed.

May he R.I.P. Jim, He will most gladly welcome you in the skies above. Rick Almeida

April 1, 20206 yr what? It´s hard to believe what i´ve read... It´s just 2 weeks ago when Jim reacted very positive on a thread i´ve started and honestly at that moment i was a little bit proud about it. 🙂 I´ve never met Jim in personal, but i guess he was a very good person, a beloved Dad, husband, and Grandpa. For sure he was someone who will be missed a lot by others and us. He was one of us - Flightsimmer!
