Over
the years there have been many personalities who have made an impact on
the troop carrier/tactical airlift world and who have now passed on.
Some are remembered because of their contribution, some because they
were characters and some because they were both. The purpose of the "In
Memoriam" page is give special honor to those we remember and to give
those who loved and respected them an opportunity to memorialize them
with a financial contribution to the Troop Carrier/Tactical Airlift
Association in their honor.
