A crash at an air show today.
Steve Oberg, in a Pitts is all I have so far.

Ya. You're right. Terrible news. Saw the video, pretty ugly. Pitts looks like it got into an inadvertent spin from a tumble maneuver and didn't recover in time. Probably worth the discussion of ICAS removing the Pitts from airhows. Susceptible to departure from controlled flight. Too many people killed in these aircraft.

Good morning Randy.
Are you flying at Bawlf today? Sure hope so. Nice looking forecast/day.

You have a link to the video?

I heard he died, then I heard he just had leg injuries, any news on how the pilot is?

[Flyin High]

Sad to hear, but I believe he did die.

[Always Flying]

Haha....as if I'd ever believe anything you had to say.

I take that as you won't consider one in the future?!? haha!
