I am in the process of setting up a CCAIR Alumni site, and yes, We will never forget #1 or Harley.I flew with both! Harley was a total trip, did an excellent Butthead impersonation.

I'll never forget the time I was Deadheading to AGS and had to sit in the Jumpseat of the Dash. #1 was giving IOE to some idiot. He was overtemping one of the engines, and #1's subtle hints were amusing, first he's pretending he was sweating and put his hands by the overtemping gauge. Then when the IOE student didn't get the message, #1 took his checklist and was fanning the gauge with it. When the IOE student asked why he was doing that, #1 said trying to cool it down.

He was a great guy and he'll be missed.
