Nevin – Edinburg, Virginia – I am a family Man that believes very strongly that in life, it is the simple pleasures that mean the most. I love my Family and believe that compassion for others begins at home. My career has been repairing Electronics (TV's Mostly) I have worked for myself most of the time (Edinburg Electronics) and still do on a semi retired basis. I love spending time with my Family and measure my wealth by things other than dollars and cents. I have been very Honored to... for the past 6 years..... to share in my love of Flying with my Great Friend, John Billings (A Decorated WWII B24 Bomber Pilot that has never stopped Flying !) Being able to share in his many Missions of Angel Flights has only made my belief in the simple things in Life that much stronger ! To me ..... Looking at Life...... Its not what happens to us on our journey that matters so much..... it is how we deal with it. That's me kinda in a nutshell !
Fantastic to see a guy who loves what he’s doing and to see him doing it great!!! Way to go John!! Thanks for posting Nevin.
When John was flying with the 484th BG in WWII Sgt. Ben Turner painted nose art on some of the bombers over in Italy and he went on to become a well known artist in New Mexico. Many years later someone commissioned a painting by Turner and was somewhat PO’d when it was done within a few days. Turner told him it didn’t take him long to paint a picture but it took a long time to learn how to do it. Well, that goes for landing at 55 mph and taking the first taxiway to the hangar!
