Troops,
As you may have already heard we lost "Wild Bill" Walker yesterday at Wings over Flagler airshow, north of Daytona Beach. Needless to say Bill's fellows Red Thunder team members are taking it really hard. Of course his family must be devastated by his untimely departure. All our prayers go out to them.
Bill failed to pull out of the down side of a loop in the sequence he was flying with Jim Fordham in his Yak 52TD. Myself and one team member checked the elevator control arm at the crash site, and found that it WAS not broken. At this time none of us know why Bill went in. He died instantly. There is video of the whole sequence, but at this time I am not aware of any conclusion but know that the NTSB / FAA were investigating today.
I hope each of you will take a moment of reflection and prayer for Bill's family and his memory. He loved flying. He genuinely loved the people he flew with and we loved him. He was a gentleman and proud father. His loud southern draw, joyous humor and sharp wit, will be missed.
Jim "Pappy" Goolsby
