December 31, 2016 was a beautiful day for flying airplanes. Father, Greg "Spanky" Barber and son, Tim Barber were spending quality one-on-one time doing what they loved most...flying. With great sadness, they lost their lives during an unfortunate plane crash in McKinney Texas.
In honor of Spanky and Tim Barber this page has been set up for the family as they mourn the loss of a husband, a father, a son and a brother. These funds will go directly to the Barber family (Wife: Mandy, Sons: Franklyn and Ben and Daughter: Becca).
Greg “Spanky” Barber was a retired LT Col USAF pilot, loving husband and father. He was an exceptionally accomplished and very experienced pilot. Not only was he a USAF Instructor Pilot, a Cold War Alert Pilot, a Combat Pilot, he flew U-2’s, B-52’s and T-38’s. He was the very last pilot to ever be selected to fly the SR-71 just before the program was cancelled and subsequently went on to become a U2 pilot.
Tim Barber, age 18, was on leave from the USAF Cadet Academy based in Colorado Springs spending the Christmas holidays with his family.
The Barber family is an exceptional and giving family who always puts everyone else before themselves representing the true meaning of family, friendship, loyalty, compassion, community, teamwork, and patriotism.
We will continue to honor the lives of Spanky and Tim knowing that they are now flying high with the angels.
