It was announced on Avsim that Billy Rutherford has passed away at the age of 51. For those who enjoyed his civil paints and flightplans he will be missed.
A sad day in flightsimming; blue skies Billy.
RIP Billy Rutherford
Re: RIP Billy Rutherford
He was truly devoted to his hobby, if his repaints are anything to go by. They really added that little extra something to my sim. RIP

I personally appreciate the amount of dedication that he had put in over the years. For one man to produce that body of work it was an amazing feat.

Re: RIP Billy Rutherford
Used many of his repaints. Taken from us at such an early age. RIP Billy.

Re: RIP Billy Rutherford
Almost every time I looked for a paint, Billy's name would be there somewhere. He will be missed.
Re: RIP Billy Rutherford
Whoa, I'm.. speechless.
I am (was?) one of Billys big fans, simply because of the neverending interesting mix of AI he would produce and share with the rest of us. Truly a sad day for AI afficionados and FS lovers in general
