Will they be back this year ?

I think 44 will be back. Not sure about the one that bellied in.

The one that crashed, #24, was totaled, but the owner/pilot walked away and reportedly has another one.

The Key forum posts and FB links were illuminative. Canopy pops out a chunk which the engine inhaled. Good video of the belly-in, nice job to the pilot! Glad he's well!
