Very very sad.
I was in Dayton today and watched one of the finest stunt pilots I’ve ever had the honor to watch perform, die in his Pitts. He put on a great show in the morning, but lost it in the first minute or two of the afternoon show. Either there was a serious mechanical failure, or he simply misjudged the ground coming up on him, I can’t be sure... It was very hard to watch this happen. This has been a very sad day for me. Jim LeRoy was a great pilot, watching this crash right in front of me was horrifying to say the least, and I’m quite shaken up by it. My prayers are with his family, and I hope you will all remember him in your prayers as well.
The woman interviewed nailed it.
I won't ever forget this, as much as I would like to at this point.
Blessings and prayers to the families.
“I hope you will all remember him in your prayers as well.”
Will also hold both of you as witnesses to this tragic event in my prayers. How sad for Mr. LeRoy, his famiy, friends and fans. TO have seen the crash has to be quite traumatic for you and all others who were there.
