Damn. Sad to hear this illegal invasion has taken yet another outstanding young person.

So sad to see this. I wasn't familiar with his posts but now I'll need to go back and look at them.

Experienced pilots like this are worth a lot and it seems like he was lost in training which Ukraine desperately needs given the incoming F16s. I hope the training cycle isn't too negatively impacted by this.

Sad but there alway someone who will take his footstep !

I wonder if he would be annoyed that he didn't quite get to fly f16s.

Knowing pilots, that part of his brain and the family part were fighting for the final thought. I hope Ukraine flies them in his honor.
