December 12, Our hearts go out to the family of Bobby Cox, our founder and benefactor, who passed away on Dec 12. Bobby was an iconic figure in business and aviation in Apex, North Carolina, North America, the Western Hemisphere, and several other parts of the world. The stories are engaging and endless. Bobby lived the equivalent of multiple lives, and he was amazingly generous to share his adventures with us, to provide us with a meeting place, and to invite so many people to join him at the amazing Cox Aerodrome. We are forever grateful. May God bless and keep his family close, and may his memory be eternal. Obituary is available here.

Service is planned for Thursday, December 21st. Apex Baptist Church, 110 South Salem Street, Apex, N. C. 27502. Visitation at 1:00. Service at 2:00. For those who are unable to be at the funeral, this is a link to a live stream of the service: https://boxcast.tv/view/bobby-cox-memorial-liobskteitno6t35oode

We are honored that the Bandits Flight Team are scheduled to overfly with a Missing Man formation salute at about 3:45 at the graveside service.
