Another way to honor a fellow KR flyer would be a flyover during the grave side service with the family's permission of course and assuming there is a grave side service. If my KR were flying I would not mind flying from NC to FL to honor him in this way. I have seen fly bys at graveside services before with a missing man formation and it seemed to be meaningful to the family of the deceased.
