Default Fdxers - Pray for Phil Straley

Per the FCIF, Phil (727 Captain/SCA) was in a serious car accident today. For those of you who don't know, Phil is a magnificent guy and a tough old-codger. Please keep him in your prayers.

Huh. Just Checked my FCIFs and saw nothing about that. Hope it is not true. I flew with Phil a few times when I was a plumber on the 72. He is a no-nonsense old school kind of guy, but a pilot's pilot. Hope he is doing well.

Flew with him before, terrible news. Another of my buddies at WN wrecked his Harley over the weekend too. Ugh. Praying twice as hard tonight.

Went down to the hospital today...the good news is there is no more bad (or worse) news. Stable but critical and many hurdles to come...

Very serious and your prayers are needed !!!

Phil went very peacefully last night..

His Final Flight out of MEM to Tucson, where services will be held, will be Friday afternoon on a FedEx A300

There will be an FCIF out shortly with details.

God Bless
