Does anyone know what happened to that dewd? Last I heard he was killed broadcasting in LA, with an engine out?
 
That's it. Dunno about the engine out, but he was killed in a helicopter while flying traffic watch in LA in, I believe, the early 80's.

For a while his son was doing the airshow circuit selling Cold War memorabilia.
 
Ironic. Survived being shot down from 80k' (?) to then end up killed during a helicopter flight from 500'.
 
helicopters don't fly

the earth repels them

Just kiddings- would love some time in one.
