You knew Dick Schramm? Cool!
Most of the time I did this I was flying barefoot anyway....

Knew both Sr. and Jr. Both were great guys. Dick Jr. was on the mike
narrating for Dick when he was killed.
He was probably one of the finest sticks ever with a light plane.
It was a freak accident, and I used it in my "Importance of Preflight
Inspections" safety talks for many years.
I don't know how it happened, in fact. My father saw it and came home
talking a buch of BS about how it was a result of that fake stick thing he
used to do, and in fact I heard that story from the usual suspects for
years afterwards, but I alwyas thought it sounded like BS.
