Terrible news! This has been a tough start to the '07 air show season. My condolences to family, friends of Shawn and the Canadian Snowbirds.

'07 has not been good. Superstition in the flying world has shown that these things occur in "3's". Let's pray that all the other demo teams around the world take the extra step of precaution before another team has to announce something terrible.

Well what about the crash at the Tico Warbird Airshow this past March? I was there. Terrible thing to witness. :(

Very true. We lost a L-39 solo pilot in that accident.
