Found this on the local news site http://www.kwes.com/story/17335559/west-texas-pilot-killed-shortly-after-takeoff. Thoughts and prayers for the family of those involved.

Just stunned. Breckenridge and HP are responsible for so many of my wonderful childhood memories of airshows and warbirds.

I just took the poster of Mr Pardue and his Corsair down from my old bedroom at my parents' place.
I have no other words.
