 Hello there,

If a non-member of foreign nationality and a long time airshow professional
cannot post a message of condolence at such a tragic time then I would not
wish to be a member of americal_aerobatics anyway.  As Clark Gable said in
"Gonw with the Wind" - "frankly my dear.....I couldn't give a damn...!!".

Up yours....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,

Barry

What dreadful news.  As an airshow pilot now for 50 years this very week and
with over 2,300 public airshow performances I have long had Jimmy as one of
my personal airshow greats.  I had never met him or Bobby but my son had
seen them at a number of stateside airshows and had enthused on their
fantastic showmanship.

I have long held the opinion that the very art of the airshow pilot is to
make the easy look difficult, the difficult look impossible and to leave the
impossible to, in European terms, the Frecce Tricolori - the Italian
national jet aerobatic team.  I fear that 80% is all I ever strive for in
airshows to leave me a good margin.  I am certain Jimmy and Bobby had a
similar approach but it looked to the crowd like they were giving 150% as
indeed it should.

I have a surplus of two in takeoffs versus landings in airshows, a statistic
I can never reduce but do not intend ever to increase.  I have had more than
my fair share of luck over 50 years.  For Jimmy and Bobby theirs ran
out......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  A huge tragedy for the world
of airshows who will share your grief.  The good Lord occasionally calls
home the very best, much before their time.  Never ask for whom the bell
tolls, it tolls for thee.

On behalf of my family I would like to offer our deepest sympathy at this
sad time to the families and friends, so many friends, of Jimmy and Bobby.

Here is the best link I've found about the crash of
Jimmy Franklin and Bob Youkin of the MOD Team in an
airshow in Canada this weekend.
