Mars is a pilot who flies in aerobatic competitions.  That is all i need to say.

I doubt falcon meant to offend anyone, but in this sort of situation, typing what you *think* happened is just asking for trouble.

A recap of the Dayton get together:

I had fun

I wasn't there for the full experience but it was a joy to meet some of the faces behind the names.  Flew in on Saturday morning with AKAuger and his daughers boyfriend.  Saw some great flying from Skip Stewart and Jim LeRoy's last solo performance; both of whom are truly awe inspiring.  Intense demos from the Harrier, F15 as well as F18.  Hertiage flights included an F18 Hornet along with an FG1 Corsair.  The Air Force memorial flight included 3 rock star airplanes.  P-51 flying lead with an F4 Phantom and F15 Eagle on its wing.  It was a true thrill to see the Phantom fly again!

After the early ending to the airshow AKAuger and I beat feet back to Columbus to drop off his guest only to return to SHawks house later that evening.  SHawk is a damn fine host for anyone who gets to stay in the Dayton area and he more than lived up to his reputation.  There were some AH items that were handed out as well as a great keepsake for all who attended:

Posters (provided by SHawk...THANK YOU!) signed by all of those in attendance.  I was lucky enough to have an A-26 Invader poster signed by those who showed up.  I hate to start listing names for fear of forgetting someone but I think a solid 20 folks were there at one point or another.

Today we toured the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base before parting ways back to our normal lives.  It was a good time and I'm looking forward to the next little gathering of nerds...err...AH players that might happen.

It was very fun indeed. Was great to put faces with names and get to meet the guys who always shoot me down

[weazely]

[swoop777]

Well we just got back and *lol Angel forgot her purse at the arbys in tipp city, not to mention all 12 or so credit cards. Anyway the nightmare has a happy ending as Shawk saves the day again by going to pick it up and spare my credit.  I would like to thank Shawk for everything I met some great people and cant wait to do this again you all know who you are I have a slight bit of respect for the Bish now (not alot) but a little the rooks are the rooks what else can I say and Bearkats and Weasley aka Jokester you have a home with the Knights on my squad if you want it.

       Anyone who didnt go this year and has a chance to go the the next gathering I highly recommend it, well that is all or I will just keep going.
<> to all the new friends I made and cant wait to do it again


  Oh and one last thing before I go, It is now a squad order to find and blast mr. falcon out of the sky every chance we get and dont even think FALCON if you read this that you will get a salute because it will never happen sir.

[weazely]

Swooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oop777:D


u likey my avatary?

[swoop777]

Is ver nice you makey me one?

[weazely]

what plane? or like whats ur idea?

[mars01]

You know when a crowd is watching something like that and something like that happens, it's really horrible.After an accident happens and you ask witnesses what they saw most of the time you'll get 3 or 4 different stories about what they saw.This guy posted his opinion because he was there and saw it.Maybe he thought the guy was flying a little to low and it worried him.I was there and it is horrible what happened it truely is, and it's a big loss too the planet as a whole.But do you really need to come on here and type the foul statements you typed??????


Just like Evil Kanevil, if you take the risks there is a hefty price tag involved.Jim Leroy knew that and went on anyway and for that i SALUTE him.But don't chastise someone for thier opinion, cuz opinions are like ..............well you know the rest.

Not that I agree with anything you wrote, because I don't.  Except that fact that it was horrible.  I mean honestly your post makes Falcons pale in comparison in regards to stupidity.  But I am not going there.  So don't bother I wont respond.

And if you read my comment you might have even seen this part:

You may think I am being a little harsh but your indignant, ignorance and stupidity to make such a statement can not go unnoticed.

It was put there precisely for people like you and answers your question.





Falcon, I do apologize for the tone.  I was pretty raw and it showed.

[weazely]

Swoop777 is this cool (if u want anything changed let me know)

I'm not going to get into the "bad thing" that happened at the show, but I will say I just got back, and I had a great time. I was lucky enough not only to attend and meet everyone down there, but I also had a few of my squaddies show up as well. Was pretty nice spending the weekend with the guys you talk to everyday, but never get to see.

Was definitely different going down there and puting faces with names. In fact, I think the most common thing said this weekend "You're not what I imagined" or "I thought you were older" lol Was pretty fun.

SHawk, as always, you were great. Same old dora dweeb that I remember from the first time I was down there with ya, just a little older Thank you for your hospitality, was greatly appreciated.

For all those who came, was definitely nice to see you, and hope to do it again next year.

Here you have some stupid AH seat jocky wannabe that went to see the "stupid stunts", as you put it, that a professional like Jim LeRoy perform for people like you and gave his life doing and you have the audacity to call it stupid.  Shame on you, you ***** pixel pushing wannabe.

Get a ***** clue Falcon!!  Jim LeRoy was one of the best of the best.  Performing and flying in an unforgiving career flying a plane to the edge and back so dumb arses like you could walk away thrilled that you got to see an amazing show.

You ignorant mother fker.  That guy gave his life performing for you.  And you have the audacity to call it stupid.  Jim LeRoy was the peak of aerobatic performance.  You watched one of the greats meet his demise, unfortunately like many others before him, giving his all for you.

Professional Airshow aerobatics is the most risky entertainment, extream sport there is.  What he did was not stupid, it was pure genius in an airplane. Have some respect even though you obviously have no capability to understand what you were watching and ignorant to think you have a clue enough to call what he did stupid.

Bow your *****g head in respect and shut the fk up.

Jim LeRoy was the best of the best, but his greatest talent wasn't in the air.  It was sitting at the autograph line until the last person, child, adult, left connecting with people less ignorant than you and maybe sharing the dream that it is to fly the way he did.

Airshow aerobatics spares no one, the worst or the best.  Maybe when you go to the show tomorrow you might understand what these people risk every weekend so that you can walk away thrilled and fulfilled and feel like your 20 bucks was well spent.

You may think I am being a little harsh but your indignant, ignorance and stupidity to make such a statement can not go unnoticed.

We lost a great hero, performer and man today.  God speed Jim LeRoy.  You were the best of the best.

And HT et-al if you edit this post shame on you.  You guys of all people should know better.
