| Another Hero Gone... Prague - One of legendary Czechoslovakian pilots of the famous No. 311 Squadron RAF, Col. Petr Uruba, died on March 1, 2009 at age of 92.  Oldest Czech pilot of 311th RAF wing Petr Uruba dies - ČeskéNoviny.cz I knew him, spoke with him last April and I wanted to visit him soon... Time is relative. Another hero, knight of the skies, is gone... I wish you, dear Petr, a nice last flight and send my greetings to all your fellows there, where you're going to land.
