I'm watching "destroyed in Seconds", a TV show, right now as I'm typing this and Dennis' last demo is on right now. They said that the weather was to blame in that the unusual hot temp made the altimeter give false readings and that's why Dennis crashed.

Glad Dennis' last demo flight did go as bad as Karl Z's. May he rest in peace.

Good to hear the media are maintaining their high level of uselesness.
I think if they'd done the homework instead of making it up, maybe they might have come up with an 8000' DA which probably had much to do with it. Regardless of what the altimeter said.
On another note, please don't fly on a day you break a lucky charm or leave your 'St. christopher' at home!!

And if they were reporting it as his last demo they were wrong about that also.

He has done a couple of displays since he has been back in the Uk, and competed in the World Championships.

He has posted on here an account of the Utah incident and written a very detailed one for Loop.
