We have lost a champion in a supporter and an operator of the A-6 Aircraft! Lyle was always there to help others and take care of people. He was truly a role model for everyone that was around him. As a former Commanding Officer of VA-196, we shared something in common. Lyle's reputation as the Commanding Officer was well known and something I looked up to for guidance. Lyle was always available to discuss the A-6 and his former squadron. Our sincere sympathy to Diane and the Bull family.
