To his Friends, He was called "Buddy"
Years ago, I was the Superintendent of an F-15E Strike Eagle Fighter Squadron, a good friend of mine introduced me to Patrick (Buddy).
I was going to organize a visit to our Flight Simulator and let "Buddy" fly it for awhile (he was a multi-engine rated pilot). Anyhow, at the last minute, his film-shooting schedule changed and he was not able to visit our squadron but, the nice guy he was, he sent me this signed photo (which I copied and shared with the squadron),
This is my copy, he was a real nice, down to earth guy, my good friend Jim actually sold him his aircraft, Buddy called it Cloud Dancer.
He will be missed, not many like him left these days - Chocks out, Advance Throttles and Clear Skies - RIP Tom
