John "Papa John" Farquhar Oct. 25, 1926 - Dec 17, 2024
Hey all, I made a post about 6 months ago about this legend right here. I know it's been some time but an update is better late than never. Papa John passed away in his sleep December 19th of last year. For those who haven't seen my older post. Papa John started wrenching on planes in the 1930's and didn't stop fully until his passing last year. We've still got his original log book somewhere showing his discovery flight in 1942! We are still looking for the footage of his two hour interview from 2023 and while we can't promise anything, if it can be found there will be announcements made about it in the future. We plan on having a memorial fly-in for him here next month in which l'll be sure to get some of the best stories to share with you all to enjoy. Don't stop praying for him even now that he's at peace. Here’s to a good friend and a hell of a mechanic!
