Big bummer.


The only time I saw him was in Salinas a year and a half ago. I had
never heard of him before and was thinking "This guy is balls to the
wall and beyond insane." After seeing more videos of him, he became my
favorite acro pilot.

Anyone hear what happened?

The story I saw makes it sound like he basically ran out of altitude
during a pullout and pancaked to the ground...
