Me and Bunky met Jim in person a few years ago at Dayton. Truly a great guy and a helluva pilot. For better or worse I got it on video and saw the whole thing go down. God it makes me sick to my stomach.

A tragedy and a shame. Made worse by the fact that fire crews took a full 5 minutes to respond, but I don't think it made that much of a difference unfortunately. Deepest sympathies to his family which were present today, and also for Skip Stewart who put on a great low show earlier in the morning, and was flying with Jim at the time of the accident.

Well Jim, here's to feeling a little buffet at -11 G's and backing off a little.
