Tommy Little Instagram – This week I lost one of my closest mates, my mentor and my sidekick in the sky. To put it bluntly Stephen Gale is the most intelligent man I’ve ever met in my life and our relationship was the perfect example of when opposites attract. An inventor, an adventurer and a heart of gold. He was a real life Tony Stark but with a flying suit instead of an iron one. His love for aviation was unparalleled. From his early years serving for our country in the Air Force to decades of flying and performing in air shows to just a couple of weeks ago being employed by the Philippine airforce to test the capability of both their planes and pilots. He did it all. To Tori, I know you know this but that man loved and admired you like nothing else. No one made him happy like you. Both you and your beautiful little man were the best things that ever happened to him. To Little Tommy, losing your dad before your first birthday is something that shouldn’t happen to any baby but I promise to be the best godfather ever and constantly remind you of the tour de force that was your dad. Plus, your mum happens to Wonder Woman so you’ll be more than fine. We got you. To the family of James Rose, I can’t imagine the pain you’re going through and I’m sending you all the love and condolences. Steve and I spoke almost every day and if I was ever flat he’d say “it sounds like we need to go flying” and then half an hour later life’s problems would melt away as we looked down over our beautiful city. But now the person that could make this problem melt away even just for a second is the one person that isn’t here to do it with me. I love ya Cap. I’ll see you in the sky ❤️
