In Memoriam: Paul Clawson (PutPut)

[Sundog]

Damn, R.I.P. Paul. Many thanks for all of the wonderful wings you gave us and for rekindling my interest in all of those 1930's interwar aircraft.

My condolences to his family and friends as he will be deeply missed.

Unfortunate to lose a member; rip.

Very sad news. He gave so much to the community. A search at FlightSim brings up 345 entries, from the FS98 Aeronca 7AC Champion in February 2000 to the Fairchild 22 in July this year. Thank you, PutPut.

My earliest contact with Paul Clawson was when I asked him to tweak the texture mapping on his SB2U Vindicator so I could repaint it for VMSB-241 at the Battle of Midway. He was happy to do it for me, that's the kind of person he was. I'm sure just about everybody in flight sim has some of Paul's planes in their hangars. His body of work since FS98 is incredible. RIP PutPut.

Blue skies Paul.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- Put out my hand, and touched the face of God."

John Gillespie Magee (9 June 1922 – 11 December 1941)

Sorry to hear this.

Whilst I never communicated with him directly, he was one of those members you were always aware of, and always seemed to help other members of the community, whilst sharing his work with them.

Cheers

Paul
