Ed Bowlin, age 79 of Cedar Ridge Airport community, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 7, 2014. He was a veteran of the United States Air Force having served in the Vietnam War. Ed retired as a pilot from Delta Airlines after 34 years of service. He had served on several boards in the aviation industry and was a mentor and inspiration to many. Ed and his wife Connie were inducted into the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame in 2009. Ed and Connie both flew P-51 Mustangs.
Born in Milan, Italy, Moreno moved to the U.S. in 1999 to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. His aviation passion began early, inspired by his uncle, an F-104 Starfighter Crew Chief, and his father, a military traffic controller. Childhood adventures included camping outside military bases and watching planes at Aeroporto Linate. In 1999, he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to obtain his commercial pilot license, a move that became permanent. With 24 years in the U.S., he now flies full-time for a Part 91 business aviation company in Atlanta. He is actively involved with the Commemorative Air Force, the D-Day Squadron, and other aviation organizations. He enjoys life with his supportive wife and three wonderful children.
Does anyone know where I can find that video they played about Ed Bowlin before Bud Anderson spoke in front of the two Old Crows?
