Happy jack.

I was referring to articles about Tom before he died. I was alluding to the general media only getting interested in GA when there is something bad or tragic to say.

Just heard of the tragic news recently in Hong Kong.

From a young Pitts pilot circa early 90's that you judged a few times at Castle Iandra.

RIP Tom

Not really sure how to quote as it's my second post, but in response to The Wawa Zones "Does anyone actually know what happened ?";
All i know is that it happened very shortly after takeoff. I heard him make a backtracking call for aeros west of the field. Shortly after i gave him a call which he didnt respond to so i looked outside and saw a dustball and a plume of black smoke.
The trip to YPPF was very quiet after seeing that...

RIP Tom
