RIP Jim Mackonochie

He seemed like a brilliant, passionate, yet very humble man. I remember the first time I've heard of him, back in late 2007. I still didn't know anything about aircrafts at the time. I'm glad ED changed that for me, luckily :)

 

I haven't met Jim in person, yet I am extremely grateful for the legacy he left behind him; the greatest flight simulation community (and software) I have ever seen.
