Re: Duluth Air and Aviation Expo 2023

Evidently, a Leap Frogs jumper landed hard on Saturday after two jumpers failed to separate in time. Impact was rough, happy to see they're stable. https://www.facebook.com/dhanger/videos/1442369063283387/ https://www.fox21online.com/2023/07/16/u-s-navy-parachute-member-stable-after-hard-landing-at-...

Re: JBLM Airshow & Warrior Expo 2023

Caught the live streams. They were pretty good despite some tech problems early. One thing I noticed today is Greg’s speed brakes were down during his demo. He still finished his performance. What a professional.

Pilot Killed in Crash at Kouvola Air Show in Finland

I haven’t been able to find any info on this air show anywhere. The aircraft involved was an Extra 300S. Based on what I’ve read and seen, it entered a flat spin and didn’t recover.

Re: C-46 Commando "Tinker Belle" Sold

Ouch. That’s a big loss for Monroe. They do such a great job with their air show, and I’d hate to see it end. Hopefully MAM will be able to fly it to air shows more frequently.
