I just read this on Guardian Unlimited:


OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) - The propeller of a Navy warbird sliced into a
home-built airplane on a taxiway during an airshow Sunday, killing a
passenger, officials said.

...

I have a lump in my throat at this time cause I have close freinds that
fly
their RV's down to Airventure from CZAM and since I just got home from a
short trip and I cannot reach them. I am concerned that it may be them! I
pray that it is not!.

However if it does not turn out to be them, my sympathyies(sp) go to the
family and loved ones of the deceased!



Does anyone have any info on this terrible accident? Any info would be
greatly appreciated. Meanwhile I will keep trying to reach my Friends and
pray they are still ok!

Capt. Geoff - I hope it was not your friend. But no doubt ths person
was a friend and a loved one to people out there. To those folks, my
deepest sympathy and prayers.
