Found on Facebook, I pass the sad news from Mr. David Hart Jr.:

"I'm sad to say that Colonel Robert E. Thacker, WWII B-17 pilot and the pilot of the record setting F-82 Betty Jo passed away this morning in his sleep at the age of 102. RIP Colonel. You were a great man and I'm honored to have met you."

Pretty outstanding innings (as we would say) one can only imagine the world seen through his eyes.

RIP

I had the pleasure of meeting Col Thacker at one of the scale events I had attended.
Wonderful man, and highly animated story telling to boot!
RIP Col Thacker.

It was an honor to know and participate in events with the Col. Always willing to engage in conversation, always recognizable with his white socks, ascot and hat. He was a great contributor and he will be missed.
