To the Aska family

Hello there. I did not personally know Mr. Aska but I believe I had met him in a hotel the night before I was to head to Atlanta. I remember seeing a male pilot in a white 3-striped pilots uniform. I greeted them, asked a few questions, and then went on with my day. Just then, I was 9. Countless times, I have seen Atlas Air Boeing 767 aircraft flying overhead, and I would always wonder who was flying them. Now I am here typing this, remembering this guy. As I did not know First Officer Aska, I don't really have much to say, but I would bet he was a great pilot, and I was surprised to know that he went out the way he did. All I know now is that he isn't here to see what the world came out to be like anymore, and is in a better place. My condolences.
