Losing a life is a terrible, terrible thing, but I know that if I was a real pilot, and if I could choose how to die, that would be in a plane, if you know what I mean. He died doing what he loved the most.

May he rest in peace...

2007 has been a tough year for aviation. Fortunately, there were dozens of other airshows over this past weekend, all over the world, and it seems this was the only show-related accident. I hope they never cancel airshows where I live.

That fallen pilot would want his fellow WW2 aviation enthusiasts to celebrate his memory. So, raise your glass to him the next chance you have.
