"We have lost two great ones!"
07-11-05, 13:47z 

Jim Franklin and Bobby Younkin were lost this weekend in an airshow accident. Jim LeRoy apparently made an emergency landing and is OK.

It was during the "Masters of Disaster" routine.

I have enjoyed watching (and speaking with) both pilots over the years at many airshows. It was always thrilling to watch each solo; and recently in the "Masters of Disasters" routine.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families.
