I sure miss our old buddy, Moon.

Moon spent many years flying his little planes all over Alaska.

I think he would appreciate this short video:

Nice video, but with all those camera men there to film it, why did he have to make that landing in the first place? :lol:

I was thinking the same thing. Also, why does he have to clear the tree line with the river right there ? Surely by flying over the river he has as much take-off clearance as he needs. :roll:

I wish I could get back up to Alaska, way too hot down here in south Texas. :cry:


edit: I didn't see where Moon had passed, hope I didn't come across insensitive. RIP, Mr. Moon.

MOON's Fender in Alaska 2015

Post by Larry Allen »

Hello formites..I am posting here because you all knew Moon and this is the last posts I found. Our guitar player Bobby grew up with Moon and his family and recently brought me Moon's Fender that he had forever..I have no interest in it as I never got to meet him, but if anyone does I've got it in my shop...Larry
