T-28 Crash Martinsburg

Post by delbydoo »

Another warbird and pilot down - Martinsburg W.Va. looks like the pilot was the only casualty; really not a good year full stop.

im honestly thinking about giving up airshows all together, ive lost a lot of friends that past few years, since ive gone to so many i know and have be-friended a lot of these pilots. I knew jimmy and have talked with him a few times and im not sure who the pilot was, i hope it was not my friend from waukegan otherwise this weekend just got a lot worse for me.

Just hope the FAA doesn't go overboard on this and stop all flying at air shows.
