Once more, we fly the missing man formation

Word has reached me that Apollo astronaut and last American to stand on the lunar surface, Eugene "Gene" Cernan, has died. The former test pilot flew in both the Gemini and Apollo programs Astronaut was the second man to "spacewalk" on a tether in orbit, and to land on the moon as commander of Apollo 17. Gene was known for his sense of humor, contributing to the celebrity roast of Comedian Don Rickles. Eugene A Cernan left this life January 16 2016. I offer my condolences to his family and friends.

Goodbye Gene.
