I count myself lucky to have met Ray and Rautgunde and most of the staff at Maule Flight. I always liked the look of Maules and their specs looked great on paper. I had never flown one though and that sounded like a good idea before I spent any time shopping for one. I stopped at Maule Flight in 2013 on my way to Sun-N-Fun and got a little over an hour of dual with Ray. I still smile when I think about it.

I tried to spend some time over at Maule Air while I was there, but that darned swan didn't want me around. The swan was meaner than I am so I spent my time on the other side of the field with Maule Flight. I'm glad I did. It has been a tough couple of years for Ray, I hope he has CAVU conditions for his voyage west and that he continues to smile on the Maule community.

I'd love to fly down for to honor the man, but I've moved from Virginia to Washington State. There's just too much nasty weather between me and Georgia to make it this time of year. My thoughts will be with the family then.

I was packed and ready to go but the ranch airstrip had fog until 11 am. One of those occasions an instrument rating would have been good to have...

sorry to hear of Ray passing. My condolences to the family. Such a great man. He taught me how to fly a Maule.

It was a good service. Some interesting stories told by Keith Phillips and Brian Van Wagnen. The entire service can be seen here https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=Raymond%20Maule

Naturally, just after the fly-over and the flag folding and prayer, the drizzle stopped and the sun came out.
