10/02/2021	Passing of an Icon - Terry Ward	Brian Hankey
All, It is with great sadness and sorrow that I regretfully announce the passing of Terry Ward (AFV278). He passed away peacefully on August 30th. In continuation with our tradition set with Robert Taylor, a new accomplishment set at the number of flights (7,232) that he ended his career at AFVA with has been established: "The Indomitable Machine". This is in reference to the fact that he was known as Terry "The Machine" Ward amongst the AFVA staff members that worked alongside him.
