Today was part 1 of a multi-part mission, to welcome David home and escort him on his final journey.
Thank you David for your service! God Bless family and friends during this trying time of passing.
The turnout was fantastic!!! We had about 100 bikes and many more cages that were there in David's Honor! Well over a hundred supports and well wishers... and as always, PGR is made up of MANY riders from many groups. Thank you for riding! It's an honor to ride with you all!
The Hollister Airport Manager was gracious and let us stage on the tarmac and was helpful in every way! Thank you for your support!
Police and fire escorts made our trip very nice, thank you all for helping David's family when they needed you.
I took this early, many more arrived, and there are others....
PGR old timers were in abundance, and it contributed to a smooth event. RC Don Newton center, and was assisted by Panak and many more, thank you for what you do. This was a complex mission and you stepped up. God Bless!
Just shooting some shots of the scoots...
This group out front was to take off early and head into Gilroy for traffic control. We didn't need it on 25, the Police groups did a fine job, thank you!
I don't normally take pics of the family, but this was far enough away to not be intrusive. The hearse led the family in procession to the tarmac, awaiting David's
arrival.
This is just some of the flag line and another entire group of well wishers was on the other side. Amazing showing of respect, honor and love!
Three nice orange bi wings did a fly over, the second pass they did a missing man formation. The plane on the left that was not smoking went up and away, to our left after passing. This was touching and very nice, thank you for performing this honor!
An interesting thing all the way up 25 to Gilroy, almost ALL cars and trucks were pulled over and parked in honor of David's procession passing. I was tail end and gave them a thumbs up! I felt great pride in the folks that paid their respects.
Another interesting point.. when we got to 101, the entire road was empty, not a car in site, thank you CHP!!!!
I was not feeling well, have a cold, sigh... when the procession left 101 to go into Gilroy, I signaled that I was going straight and I had previously told the sweeps I would do that so as not to confuse anyone.
It was an honor to be there, I thank the family for asking PGR and all that ride with us to attend and honor David's arrival.
