Sad news indeed. Thanks for sharing.

I knew that Tim Yoder is a class act, but I had not realized how much we owe to Ron Fleming.

Our condolence's to your club.

Along with Myron Curtis, that is 2 founding members of AAW lost this year. Possibly 3 if Bill Grumbine was also an AAW founding member.

The air brush can be a challenging tool. Frank Kelly Freas used to tell tales about the challenges of doing aircraft nose art in the Pacific Theater during WW2. In the high humidity, air brushing with varnish would sometimes spit threads of varnish instead of a mist. The air brush part of Ron's bio brought back memories of Kelly.
Sigh

Ron Fleming's passing is a loss to many communities. May he RIP.

A wish for you all:  May you keep buying green bananas.
