Mac was a wonderful recontour and could regale you with stories about his exploits but not too many about his services during WWII  as they were not happy memories.
He had a very interesting and full life and will be fondly remembered by Ruth and I.

My condolences to Mccorkle  family.
I learned to fly with Jim and when he was at Great Lakes helicopters. Just an amazing influence as I went on to fly the Air Ambulance with many types of aircraft. 
A top notch instructor who forgot more than other pilots knew. 
See you in our next life Jim and look forward to many more stories you love to share . 
Charles

Jim had a life which was full and rewarding and his experiences are to be admired in war and peace. He was an awe-inspiring raconteur and relayed them with great aplomb.
He was a born aviator and his love of flying was second only to his love of his wife Bonnie.
He flew many members of royalty as a pilot with the RAF and when overseas many chose him as their pilot.
He was a pilot for the Canadian Coast Guard where he had a serious accident and thought for a time this was the end f his flying career but this stubborn Scot defeated all odds and was back flying again.
As a helicopter pilot, his skills helped teach many budding aviators the requirements of success.
He flew to many remote places all over the world and loved the Canadian high Arctic for its beauty and splendour.
It was a sad day when the insurance providers decided to pull the plug and end his distinguished flying career.
On Remembrance Day Jim loved to dress up in his Legion "uniform" and march in the parade of veterans.
Now flying with the man up top. R I P Jim.
R.I.P. "Mac"
