Legend Tex Hill made his last flight
Today I got sad news from USA: Brigadier General David Lee "Tex" Hill, ret., made his final flight and perfect landing on October 11, 2007 from his home in San Antonio at the age of 92.

Tiger, it was a great honor for me to know you personally. Rest in peace, I'll never forget your kindness.

Our deepest sympathies and respect to the family of Tex on this sombre occasion.

Veterans of all wars, all countries are important.
