What a wonderful tribute to a fabulous aviator, saw many of his displays, and spoke to him on a couple of occasions,always had time for everyone. R.I.P Young Fella !
Many people question whether flying these ancient airframes is prudent considering the risk. I know in my heart that if Squadron Leader Long could speak today, he would respond with "an unequivocal yes." Thank you Mark, per adua ad astra.
I’ve just been to coningsby…the tributes are abundant. The loss of such a gifted son of the nation is heart felt . Great pilot , great guy.,… RIP my fellow aviator
High Flight By John Gillespie Magee Jr. 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 nor 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.
So so so sad reminds me of gentleman and aviator Pilot Glen Warden here in south africa that to succumbed to his death after his accident😢 broken hearted for the families. 🙏🙏
In Vietnam, we lost 8 of 18 aircraft. 10 men. First one dies, you die too. But there will be others. You can count on it. You got to let him go..you got to let him go..
Many people don’t know that we lost 60,000 Americans in the Vietnam war. The gulf of Tonkin incident never happened. It was all Lyndon Johnson’s fault. Thanks for this upload.
Another Aviator, college and friend lost..??!!! Shit...!!!??? How, why...? Let us get answers and learn from it. He is dancing and laughing on Silver Wings now.. R.I.P Mr Long.

High Flight
By John Gillespie Magee Jr.
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 nor 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.
He looks a real decent guy, sad loss RIP Mark
Bless him. Lest we Forget
Say hi to my wife for me in Heaven!
R.I.P. Squadron Leader Long. Nickel on the grass.
Yes mark saying my prayers for you😢
Fly high Sdrn Ldr.
Blue skies Mark
❤️🙏
RIP😢
Rest in peace Mark.
From a simple PP to a hero, Rest in Peace.
thank you Mark.
So so so sad reminds me of gentleman and aviator Pilot Glen Warden here in south africa that to succumbed to his death after his accident😢 broken hearted for the families. 🙏🙏

This should never have happened, there was no shortage of pilots concerned with his lack of ability in most aircraft, we've kept quiet long enough.
What the fuck you waffling
What caused the crash? R.I.P!
Its been said, engine failure shortly after take off…… Yet to be formally confirmed
