Sunday's T-33 Crash.

One of the California newspapers is reporting that the man killed in the T-33 crash was Dan Lavigna.

I met him at the Beal AFB in California about three years ago when we took a C-17 there for their airshow.
He had his F.58 Hunter on display and we talked about the difficulty in finding brakes for it. He talked about coming up to Olympia for the airshow and looking at the spare hunter parts that I had just finished sorting out, but that never happened. I only spent a couple of hours with him, but he seemed like a really nice guy.

All the same, it's a sad loss.
