This is something any car lover can appreciate. A good friend, owner of many MGs, passed away last month. This is how the family is remembering him .... at a ballroom in a wonderful car museum.

 

that's a good thing.

 

I always wanted to see that museum, may he RIP, that is a cool way of doing it.

 

Now that’s the way to check out. Sorry for your friends loss Dave.

 

Your friend, as we aviators say:“Flew West”. To my non-pilot readers, this term comes from a poem written by an unknown author during World War One. The line reads:

“To fly West, my friend, is a flight we must all take for a final check.”

Flying west, from the meat grinder of the “Western Front” in France symbolized returning home, to the pilots of the American, British and Canadian Air Forces, whose life span was measured in hours, not days, for newly arrived aviators at the end of that brutal conflict. At least in spirit, if not physically, they would once again be with their friends and loved ones.

Just as pilots must pass a flight or "final" check to return to flying, so must everyone pass a final check for life eternal.
