A Great Day To Fly!
Col (Ret) Paul "Sticky" Strickland, Jan 19, 2007 - 10:24 PM

Jorma, a find young man- sharp young fighter pilot. I flew at Hill AFB in the 4th FS with Jorma, who everytime he stepped to the jet told the crew chief:"It's a great day to fly!!" As a Southwest Airline pilot, and Slot for the Patriots Demo Team, each time I fly, or announce to passengers, I convey in memory of Jorma; "It's always...a GREAT day to fly!"

An officer and a gentleman

Thank you Jorma for your service and for your sacrifice. Your fiance, Tracy, spoke nothing but loving, good thoughts about you. I know you are missed by all of your family and friends. God bless and God speed!

Hooch!

Hooch flew my line the day he died as I was on leave. I will never forget October 25th. Jorma and I went through IFF,RTU, and MQT together. I had no better friend than him. My family and I miss him dearly.

Will miss you always

We send our condolences to the family. Our uncle Penti Huhtala died from wounds after returning from Korea its sad but a honour also. Pray for an end to all wars.

A good friend
