I was shocked to learn of this today.  I was planning on attending this airshow tomorrow because Bryan is a friend of my family.  My grandfather taught him how to fly.  He worked at my grandfather's airport to earn money for lessons.  Somewhere there is a picture of him and my grandfather standing in front of the Christan Eagle he learned aerobatics in.  My mother grew up with him and it was hard giving her the news when I got home from the Wichita airshow today.

My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

Not feeling like going back out to another airshow after this weekend.

I was there.  Came to Kansas City to visit some friends and go to the airshow.  Truly sad, I didn't know of him before today but he was putting on a good show until it happened.  RIP

He was supposed to be performing at an airshow next weekend we are going to at ALO.  Coincidentally, this show will be the first for Kyle Franklin since Amanda's death.

Unfortunate, but the real sad thing here is risks like that DO NOT need to be taken.

Just a very bad weekend for the airshow crowd.  Three accidents, and three deaths.  I only hope next weekend is better, as I am supposed to be attending the Thunder in the Valley in Waterloo, Iowa.

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
