Seems that just recently had not been a good week for your old play-things in Arizona, Danny.

Firstly, that Tracey Whatsaname tried acrobatics (not aerobatics) in the Stearman PT-17 at Winslow.
The poor thing's a bit of a mess - probably a write-off.
It'll take a good rigger, and others, a good while to get that one flying again, I'd think.

Then, the other day, an American Airlines pilot went in (double fatality) in an AT-6 at Falcon Field, Mesa, former home of 4BFTS.
(EFATO?)
Sad.
