I was at Osh in 92 when Jimmy Franklin fliew the Kitfox in the airshow. He'd done his routine in his black Waco and scared the audience with an inverted pull out at 5 feet or so. My stomach would churn watching Jimmy pull the WACO out so low that he would disappear in the low ground behind runway 18/36. Exciting to watch, but frightening, too. Charlie |

..Spun in down at Dayton. Now all the masters of disaster have gone to the great airshow in the sky... Blue skies forever... Seeing the TV videos, I wonder what went wrong. It was a spin but didn't look flat. Bill Hale |

I really don't think anyone, even the lowest knuckle dragger wants to see anyone get killed, which is a very common result of bent sheet metal in the aviation world. Nope. The knuckle draggers want to see someone knock on the door of death and deftly sidestep at the last split second as the beast comes roaring out. The only proof that death actually comes roaring out is for the occasional performer to not be quite deft enough. If no one ever dies, then it gets stale like a carnival ride. Remember, the job of the carnival ride designer is to make you think you're going to die while keeping you securely nestled. |
