DHamblin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Bad Couple of Weeks..." 10-16-04, 13:58z  This has been a bad couple of weeks for the Airshow community. We have lost two pilots recently. Rick Babbit was lost a couple weeks ago in Sante Fe New Mexico when his plane went from an inverted spin and crossed over to an upright spin which he was unable to recover from before running out of time and altitude. This weekend we lost Sean deRosier at Miramar when apparently he had some difficulty coming out of a loop or vertical maneuver. An unfortunate reminder of the seriousness of the activity. Our thoughts are with the families. Dave Hamblin (Happiness is Seeing The World from Upside-down) Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
