... this hurts. Living in Daytona for six years, I would see FU-711 at almost every show in the area down there, most notably at Titusville each spring and at the DeLand show in the fall. He was a fantastic pilot, and really knew how to control the aircraft; I just heard about the crash, and my first thought was there had to have been something catastrophic happen for the aircraft to have crashed, because he did not take unnecessary risks with it and knew exactly how to handle it. He died that others might live... no greater tribute can be paid to the man.

Godspeed, Jimmi. We will certainly miss you...
