Damn..............a great loss to all!
I won't mention his name out of respect but a quick search shows who he was (assuming A/C owner),so another now flies with some other great names up there in hopefully a better world!
RIP.
Just getting off the sadness of this I believe his Pitts was a 6 cyl version, I didn't know they existed but man it must have had some grunt!
