[2020/05/25 11:16]  Felipe Ferraris (fejeco.ferraris):
Captain Asra, General Temp, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
I’d like to thank you all for taking time out of your day to stand with us in recognition and honor of all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to the American nation. On behalf of Brazilian Air Force, I would like to take just a moment and recognize all those among us who have served or are currently serving the American Armed Forces as well as any here who have lost a loved one in service.
 
We are humbled by your sacrifices, as we know they are great, and we commend the demonstrations of courage and strength that you have no doubt shown throughout the most difficult of times. So Memorial Day is a chance to reconnect to the genesis of our nation’s in-numerous freedoms.
I thank you all for joining in today’s tribute. I hope you keep our military men and women - and the sacrifices they made - close to your heart today and throughout the rest of the year.
Sincere respects from the Brazilian Air Force. Thank you all.

On this day in 1868 the United States showed its respect to those who were lost in the civil war. Men who fought for what they believed.

I have poem (*)

[2020/05/25 11:25]  Temp Harrison (mrharrisonofreaper):
As a real life Airmen of the United States Air Force I have lost brothers and sisters who now wait for us in Valhalla and say to them: You will be not be forgotten. You will not be left behind. And you will forever be with us. Coasties, Airmen, Sailors, Marines, Soldiers... all of you have given what was asked and more. To the real life veterans in Royal Aviation and Second Life the war never stops.

Rest in Peace Airman Johnathan Saladan of the USAF Security Forces, Kandahar Airfield. Rest in Peace Poppy, Rest in Peace Colonel Sadler. We shall fight on and see you one day in Paradise.
Thank you.

SL United States Navy Third Fleet

[2020/05/25 11:31]  Asra Kron (x4ten):
Fellow officers and enlisted, distinguished guests,
I would like to recognize you all without exception for being here. Too many to name. Look around you... This is why we serve. I will just make a special recognition to the Brazilian Air Force and the Especialistas de Aeronáutica present. Thank you one and all.
 
This is Memorial Day.
Not a day should go by that we don't remember our fallen, but each year we dedicate a day to honor them. And for us this is the day. In SL United States Navy Third Fleet we do it by paying our respects to the fallen Blue Angels, who lost their real lives when serving with the squadron. This is so because we carry the honor, the privilege and the responsibility of being the home fleet of the SL Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, Blue Angels since 2016 and, God willing, for many years to come.
The Blue Angels Memorial site where we are gathered today was built on Naval Air Facility El Centro, a six region set up built in the image of the real life one in California. NAF El Centro was in SL as it is in real life, the Winter home of the Blue Angels. It was short lived but never forgotten.
When Naval Air Station Patuxent River was built, in July of 2019, the memorial found a place to live again, and since its rebirth on August 8 of that year, on the first anniversary of its inauguration at El Centro, it is again a public space dedicated to the memory of these fallen heroes.

Today is Memorial Day.
A day to remember those who must never be forgotten. The men and women who laid down their lives in service to us all. No matter the cause, no matter the reason, it is not a soldier, sailor or airman's place to question why, but his or her duty to do or die.
Today we honor the dead heroes.
Today we cherish the ones who survived.
Today we show our gratitude to those who serve.
In this sacred site's tradition we do all these things by saying out loud the name of the twenty one Blue Angels who lost their lives while in service with the demonstration squadron in real life.
At each name taps will sound, and when the twenty one are named a twenty second bugle call will sound for all those who served in Second Life and are now resting in peaceful waters and spacious skies.
So, please, join me in their remembrance.

Join me and the United States Naval Academy choir in prayer.

ETERNAL FATHER, STRONG TO SAVE
Performed by the United States Naval Academy choir

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Eternal Father, grant, we pray,
To all Marines, both night and day,
The courage, honor, strength, and skill
Their land to serve, thy law fulfill;
Be thou the shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps.

Amen

Salutes in silence a final call for all the ones we lost who served in Second Life.

[2020/05/25 12:05]  Asra Kron (x4ten):
Pray with me. Lest we forget our fallen heroes.

AMAZING GRACE
Performed by Cecilia

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see

Was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far
And Grace will lead us home

[2020/05/25 12:08]  Asra Kron (x4ten):
Stands in silence for the reprise of the first verse as it is sung.

[2020/05/25 12:09]  CAVY (captaincavy):
GODS SPEED LT POPPY "HI DIVER" ... AMEN
Spoken as Amazing Grace ended.

[2020/05/25 12:09]  Asra Kron (x4ten):
AMEN

The guests prepare to leave but still one thing was to come. So all stood still.

 
[2020/05/25 12:09]  Asra Kron (x4ten):
Thank you all for making this day so special. God bless our fallen heroes and friends and God bless us all. This ceremony is complete. Please enjoy your holiday.

(*) You probably noticed Sachin's line during General Harrison's speech. At several points during the ceremony, this young Second Life Coast Guard recruit was announcing he "had a poem". Due to the strictly timed ceremony layout I could not include this impromptu participation, but as I said good bye to all and they were getting ready to leave, recruit Sachin De Saltu spoke up once more. I smiled and called him to the podium and everyone stood still. And listened.

[2020/05/25 12:10]  Sachin De Saltu (soulofherrera09):
I do have a Memorial Day Poem...

[2020/05/25 12:10]  Asra Kron (x4ten):
Go ahead and say your poem. *smiles bright* Let us hear Sachin's poem before we leave - this was not scheduled. Please read Sachin.

SLCG recruit Sachin De Saltu finally gets to recite his poem.

[2020/05/25 12:12]  Sachin De Saltu (soulofherrera09):
Is it enough to think to-day
Of all our brave, then put away
The thought until a year has sped?
Is this full honor for our dead?
Is it enough to sing a song
And deck a grave; and all year long
Forget the brave who died that we
Might keep our great land proud and free?
Full service needs a greater toll
That we who live give heart and soul
To keep the land they died to save,
And be ourselves, in turn, the brave!
Thank you

[2020/05/25 12:14]  Asra Kron (x4ten):
That was beautiful recruit Sachin. Thank you for sharing young man, well done.

[2020/05/25 12:14]  Asra Kron (x4ten):
Please enjoy the rest of your holiday.
Thank you all from my heart for attending this ceremony,
And please,
Stay safe.

In Memoriam: Patty Poppy, November 25, 2005 - May 9, 2020

It broke my heart there was a typo in Poppy's name all through this post, gladly I caught it real early and it is now correct. At first I was very sad about it as I love Poppy, but now looking back at it I can't escape the feeling she must have known how hard it is to say her name real fast 10 times in a row. She made me laugh one more time... Thank you, Poppy.

It is with great sorrow I place this remembrance page up for Poppy. She chose autopilotpatty poppy as her name, and was born in Second Life on November 25 of 2005. Her autopilot guided her to the great skies above on May 9 and now we are left to mourn but also to remember.

She was to play her songs at NAS PAX River for our Anniversary Ball just a couple of months away. When asked to do so she replied as she always did, happy to help and with a smile. I shall remember her that day and share her memory as we dance. I think she would have liked to know that's how we remember her: dancing. To all her friends at NAS Firespire and Auburn Bay, her family and all who loved her, my deepest sympathies.

DJ Poppy - Music diversity at it's finest. Music is the voice of the soul.

"... sometimes the stream is offline for one reason or another – usually my own issue – I try not to let that happen but I’m human and have a real life that’s sorta like herding cats." - Poppy

Poppy, I know you are smiling through just like you always do, for the blue skies drove the dark clouds far away at last for you. We'll meet again.

Second Life Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron
SL United States Navy Blue Angels

Lord, guard and guide the ones who fly
Through the great spaces in the sky.
Be with them always in the air,
In darkening storms or sunlight fair.

Air verse from the Navy Hymn, United States Naval Academy Chaplain's Center

It is everyone's right in Second Life to live the fantasy they wish, play the part they choose. Being a Blue Angel is no exception and we have no exclusive on it - no one does. We only try to do it as well and as similar to real life as possible, and this has been and will be my choice, and it is what sets the SL United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron (NFDS) Blue Angels from any other group flying similar colors.

Many, many groups exist in SL, it is what you do and how you do it that sets your group apart. In the SL United States Navy we strive to not only set it apart, but make it exceptional in every way. Existing as a SL United States Navy squadron in Third Fleet since February 14, 2016, the Blue Angels will continue their program as defined in our records (see updated version here).

A little history, for the record. Complete photo album link on the footnotes section.

Vickster Kuhn founded a Blue Angels aerobatic team in Second Life. In her own words that group was founded end of 2015. When I met her, January 9, 2016, I invited her to bring the squadron into a SL United States Navy structure (Third Fleet) and transform it from a group inspired by the Blue Angels into a SL replica of the real life navy demo squadron.

Click on image to enlarge!

At NAS Miramar, formal invitation to join the Fleet on the same day we met.

The changes were implemented following my guidelines respecting all aspects of the squadron, turning it over the course of a few months from a group of unaffiliated stunt pilots into a United States Navy ambassadorship. The guidelines I brought to the table on uniforms, helmets, aircraft structural modifications, practice protocols, squadron positions, public relations, support structures, radio protocols and, most of all, air demonstration ground and air layouts were all designed to make it as close as possible to the real life demo squadron within the limitations of Second Life. But none of this would mean much without the underlying essence of a true United States Navy squadron: the U.S. Navy military culture. None of this existed before 2016.

Click on images to enlarge!

The Tuckaway Cross. Before 3rd Fleet there were no solos in the demos.

A coveted reward: acceptance cases and helmets given to the chosen few.

In the following years, I was privileged to develop some of the most fulfilling projects I ever completed in Second Life, instilling the navy flavor and ethos in the every day life of the Blue Angels squadron, the apex of which was Naval Air Facility El Centro, a stand alone six regions navy facility built as a replica of the real life Blue Angels Winter home. A short lived experience that will live in our memory forever.

Click on images to enlarge!

The Winter home of the Blues built in SL for them.

Angel 1 over El Centro just before the expansion to 6 regions.

Early stages. The facility would get more real life like still.

There was a certain degree of opposition to this philosophy I brought to the squadron. Some saw no use for strategic planning and favored a not much talk and fly only view common to more loosely disciplined groups; some believed we should not follow real life directives and return to the flying circus days; some would prefer not to be in the SL USN at all and have only a flight suit to wear instead of a complete U.S. Navy wardrobe; some wanted the freedom to fly for other aerobatic groups outside the U.S. Navy... The list is long. Had any of those things happened there would be no point in keeping the squadron as the ambassadorship of the United States Navy in this virtual world.
You see, representing the Blue Angels in SL is not just about performing for 45 minutes, it's mainly about everything else. And that's what makes every air show really special.

Inspecting the squadron assignments for a new season.

The Blues get their orders for the 2017 Season.

From ground to air and back, a real life performance standard.

Fat Albert Airlines becomes part of the demo.

Briefings, debriefings, safeties. A culture of excellence.

Attention to detail. The key to a clean performance.

Practice is 90% ground work 10% flying.

Hundreds of hours of practice, 45 minutes of air show.

Smoke check on preflight, a real life procedure turned second life tradition.

On the ground as in the air, the same accuracy and detail.

When the Blues joined the SL United States Navy, the aircraft in use was the Shana Aircraft Grumman F9F-8T Cougar two seat used in the late 1950's by the real life Blue Angels. There was no single seat version available. The livery on the aircraft was roughly similar to one of the real life planes but as a whole, the aircraft had a completely different livery in use when it flew with the squadron. Even the tail numbers were a double digit set up, showing "01" in a random font. In collaboration with Shana Carpool I provided the accurate livery and made the necessary structural changes to make the two seat look more like the planes used in real life, and keeping in mind the single seat Cougar would be available soon.

Click on images to enlarge!

Historical accuracy was systematically instilled in the group since 2016.

Pitot tube removed, historic livery applied. All we needed was the F9F-6.

April 2016, the squadron new set up presentation at Miramar.

As soon as the Shana Aircraft Grumman F9F-6 Cougar single seat was launched the squadron immediately transitioned to it keeping the two seat for pilot training and VIP rides (another real life Blue Angels tradition I instilled). But my mind was in an up to date squadron flying the same planes the real Blues fly today. The Hornet. With the Cougar single seat just getting in the air we started working with Shana on the F/A-18C and D Hornets. This labor of love in which I was intimately involved for over a year is described in detail in a NEPTUNE magazine article (see here).

A dream come true.

Following the tradition of previous seasons, the year 2018 calendar for the Blue Angels included traditions established the year before: like the Homecoming Air Show and the ID4 Air Show, both organized by me as part of my responsibilities as Blue Angel 7. With NAS Miramar on hold, the Homecoming will happen at NAS PAX River, moving from season opener to last demo of each season (the real meaning of homecoming). In Second Life the air show seasons last a lot longer than in real life, so expect homecoming to occur sometime in October each year. As for ID4, the 2020 edition will happen July 3 and 4. Details will be released in June.

The Blue Angels memorial site built at El Centro now stands at PAX.

Wall of honor in the Blues ops room at PAX. Over 4 years of history.

The Blue Angels ops room is a favorite on any NAS PAX River tour.

The SL United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron Blue Angels represent in Second Life one of the most prestigious and charismatic aerobatic squadrons in the world. It is our privilege to continue to play that part for the benefit of all who fly navy and marines in Second Life and the aviation enthusiasts who live in this virtual world. Just as in real life, I made a point of starting each air demo with the narration intro that states: "Since 2016 the Blue Angels have had the unique privilege of demonstrating to the Second Life public the precision techniques of Naval Aviation, hoping to inspire a culture of excellence and service to country." You will continue to hear these words at every air show we are in and that is the exact definition of what we do.

See you on deck.

Post Scriptum:

I owe Vickster Kuhn a lot. I owe her accepting me in her group and allowing me to change its culture, I owe her all she did to keep Eagles Nest and Miramar safe, I owe her for many of the best moments I have had flying in Second Life. But it is a two way street. In the end it all came to realize she, like others before her, did not respect me at all and it makes me wonder why the things I owe her for came to pass. Now all I wish is to carry on with the years long body of work I created and refuse to lay down to waste. May the SL skies be fair to us both and those flying on our wings.

Designations:

While operating in the SL U.S. Navy Third Fleet structure, the Blue Angels carried the designation of the original group (NFDT), founded by Vickster Kuhn, and now she is pursuing her goals outside that structure it remains the same.

Blue Angels Aerobatic Team (see group details here)

As a matter of definition, as in real life, the Blue Angels in the SL U.S. Navy Third Fleet structure are assuming the NFDS designation. Personnel and related officials will gradually join this group as we carry on our Third Fleet tradition.
