Bobby Folsom
Many of you may know Bobby Folsom, He is an active IMAC pilot in SC Region, as well as national IMAC Secretary and Mississippi assistant Regional Director.
Bobby was putting on a flying demo at a full scale airshow in Tallulah, LA. After a perfect flight and landing he fell and broke his hip. He is currently in University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson Mississippi in ICU. The doctors are waiting for him to be well enough to undergo hip replacement surgery. My prayers go out to him and his family! I will post updates to this thread as I get them. Dangerous Dan

Re: Bobby Folsom
I talked to Bobbys wife today, he is in good spirits. They are adjusting his blood thinners to prep him for surgery which is scheduled for tomorrow. When he hits the morfine button too much and then hears a helicopter on the roof he asks his wife if the pattern is clear and what type of plane is flying...LOL. I look forward to giving him heck about that when he recovers.
