Aerobatic Pilot Lost at Dayton

[Steven Holzinger]

Veteran airshow pilot Jim LeRoy was killed today in an accident at the Vectren Dayton Airshow held at Dayton International Airport. Jim was flying in the Codename: Mary's Lamb act with fellow pilot Skip Stewart and jet truck driver Kent Shockley with the Shockwave Jet Truck when Jim crashed. Jim was a very good friend of mine and this loss just breaks my heart.

Please keep Jim's family and friends in your prayers.
