I am in disbelief and saddened to post that *HighFlyah* passed away this week.

While *HighFlyah* might not have been known by the newer members of this forum he was quite active earlier this century especially on the United boards as he often was flying transpacific to Hong Kong where his family was and still resides. I flew with *HighFlyah* a few times, but probably the craziest thing we did was a mileage run from OAK- ATL on UA. If I am not mistaken our routing was OAK-LAX-MIA-IAD-ATL-IAD-JFK-LAX-OAK.

My heart breaks for his United colleagues, his many friends in the Chicago area and around the world, but most importantly his family in Hong Kong who he cared so much for. Crazy to think just one short month ago he was on a family trip in Japan.

RIP Michael.
