ANN Names The 'Heartbreakers' of 2007: #4--A Tough Year For Airshows

From the Heartbreaker's List #5: A Tough Year For Airshows Dear Lord... what an unfortunate year for the airshow industry -- though to be honest, we're not exactly sure why it flew along on such a low note. The airshow industry experienced a far larger than normal number of accidents in 2007 -- of all manner of types and causes. We lost aerobats, military jet team members, warbird drivers, you name it... and in every case, of course, a great tragedy occurred. We lost valued members of an elite aspect of aviation who make all aviators look good to the groundhogs of the world and serve the very best interests of the aviation world every time they take flight. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?contentBlockId=35f0b316-cdd4-490b-9775-a10d84a514c4
