I regret to report that Jimmi Rossi was killed in the crash of his Canadair F-86 Sabre this weekend, while attending an airshow at San Ysidro AFB, Santo Domingo, Domincan Republic. Apparently he had suffered a flame-out, and though dirceted to a runway for an emergency landing, he opted to attempt to land in a field instead, as his return path to the airport was over a heavily populated area. The aircraft broke apart on impact, Jimmi died a hero. No doubt his final, brave act saved countless lives. We'll miss you Jimmi, rest in peace. Jim
