Title: Farewell, old friend - John "Roadrunnertex" Vickers
Post by: RJ on August 14, 2023, 05:46:39 PM

Sadly, John passed away on Friday, August 11, 2013.

I do know that he had been dealing with Parkinson's for several years, but I do not have any more information at this time.

John was a retired A&P for American Airlines, and owned/converted a P8M4905, which he and I took to the first Blytheville rally in 2013.

He will be missed. . .

RIP John Vickers

I'm thinking I met John at the Arcadia Rallies.
Did he own a green trimmed 4104? (photo attached)

No, that's John Vickery's 4106.
