Jim LeRoy

I know its over for the real Leroy Performances.
But he will fly and perform thru our hearts and models for years to come.
I have put aside a project and will try my best to keep the Bulldog spirit in the sky.

For me the airshow scene will not be the same without Jim around.There are some great pilots out there though and a lot of us will be flying models of Bulldogs to keep his memory alive!

I had a Lanier bioe that I covered in the Bulldog Pitts design (not NEARLY as nice as the one above). Jim was scheduled to participate in an Airshow south of Atlanta last October, and I was going to take a wing and get it signed. After the accident, I decided to sell the plane. He was certainly one of the few that could really put on a show.

Thanks for the comments guys.Jim was just as great a person as he was a pilot.I was lucky enough to get to know him pretty well and you will never meet a better guy.He will be missed.Keep building Bulldogs,he got a real kick out of seeing them!!

Hey Steve!Haven't yet,but about ready.As you know,the weather hasn't been real great this winter.If the fields here don't dry out soon,I may go fly over at Jasons field in Ill.I will definately be flying it this summer and I'm sure you'll see it.I'll give you a call and let you know when I'm going to have it out,would love for you to see it.

[gjmjoe017]

Well,we got the Bulldog II running and the DA runs great.A few more details to work out and hope to get her in the air.

[gjmjoe017]

Thought I would put up a few pics of the maiden.Went well,got in two flights.Went over and put it up at Jason Pearsons place in Illinois.Really looks like Jim in the air!!
