This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I heard about Bill's passing a couple weeks ago, but held off posting until I seen something about it on one of the forums and I just noticed it over on AirShow Buzz... I did confirm thru my friend - who was crewchief on the Mig for several years and he said Bill passed away on friday, April 15th... Bill always put on a awesome show in the Mig-17 and will be missed... My condolences to his wife Julie and the rest of his family... Blue Skies Always Bill...

Wasn't he a Thud pilot during the Vietnam War? I think I recall that being said during one of his demos.
He really knew had to move a MIG -17 around the sky.
(Hope I'm not getting pilots crossed)
Blue skies!

I remember when he brought the flaming MIG in at Aurora in early 94.
I also miss the YAK Attack airshow act with the Twin Beach (the YAK Herder)
and the 2 YAK-50s.
