Yes he was. He flew my Stearman with me a couple of times, once in Minnesota and once at Bozeman. We both were NWA pilots together, close in seniority.
He was number 23 that I have seen killed in the last 37 years. More than 3/4 of them military or airshow guys.

That's exactly why I quit flying acro, too many friends dying when out practicing. Anybody know why he crashed? The way it reads, he was just going from point A to B, not doing any acro.

Missed greatly...
