There are many people who owe Wiz their life. No, he wasn't a PJ...but he was the ideal PJ's Pilot. He did what was right, risk be damned, that others may live.
 
JAJ, it may be of little consolation, but a number of the fixed-wing pilots and crew here at BAF have a "PEDRO 66" patch on their flight suits.

Lest we forget.
