World Heritage Sites Air Adventure: No Time to Die—My Own Eulogy

As written by 007, who joins us today from the copilot’s seat and is serving as our special guest log writer on this episode of The Sky Podcast, brought to you by Starlink Aviation Solutions.

As the Tiger Shark Squadron transits from Colombia to this corner of the world, preparing to launch the Whisky, Whiskey, Whales, and Gophers tour, we pause for a special side mission. Today, we honor a great agent of Her Majesty’s Secret Service here in the Faroe Islands:

Kalsoy, Faroe Islands. The wind cuts like memory, the Atlantic roars below. If you’re reading this, my time has run out. Let these words serve as my own eulogy-brief, honest, and true.

M once quoted Jack London: “The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” Those words became my compass. I did not drift through life. I burned.

“I would rather be ashes than dust!” London wrote. I agree. I chose the brilliant blaze, not the slow fade. Duty, danger, love, and loss-these were my companions. I never asked for thanks, nor forgiveness. I did what had to be done, so others could sleep in peace.

M also said, “We all have our secrets, we just didn’t get to yours yet.” My secret? I lived. I loved. I did not waste my days.

So, raise a glass. Remember me not as a number, but as a man who used his time. If you ever stand on these cliffs, with the wind in your hair and the sea below, know I am there-in the legend, and in the life well-lived.

Farewell.

Bond, James Bond.
