[666Hansen]

[Fikonkross69]

american people, so stupid eh

[NightFlier1976]

7 FUCKING IDIOT!!!

[swissairforcefan]

nice pilot

R.I.P.

[MrQuinnk]

The thing is that you maybe great but being a pilot that's never enough.

[funkyzero]

I loved watching the guy over the years, he could torture an airframe unlike any other. Jim was always the centerpiece of the shows for me. You couldn't watch one of his shows without smiling and shaking your head.

I was at Dayton for his final show. Watching that accident shook me up pretty badly... I haven't been to an air show since

[TheSupergoalieboy]

he was a very good pilot but now sean tucker has taken that pission R.I.P jimmy

[Faucon551237]

"the best pilot of all time" doesnt exist

[Donkapigg]

nice vid

[1486luana]

True! a great pilot and years of entertainment doing what he loved. With ALL DUE RESPECT the GREATS dont die in accidents due to judgement errors. The GREATS are the guys that still do it day in and day out.

[snipey852]

@1486luana And let me guess, Heroes don't die either?

[rebel937]

Great pilot, the best??? I dont know but I put him right up there with another great Leo Loudenslager! May they both RIP

[laxward16]

how do you become a pilot like him? like whats the process after you license

[ViceVersa2009]

@laxward16 Practice, practice, and more practice to get that skilled.

[sidman172]

Le plus connu, le fun est avec LUI, pour toujours ....

[azframer]

To say one man is better than another is crazy. You should enjoy them all for as long as you can. Jim Leroy was taken from us along with a long list of others. It is a high risk thing for them to go up for us and be thankfull that they do.

[eimante91]

the best is JURGIS KAIRYS. LITHUANIAN MEN. looc you r self

[tieger1eric]

hamma

[dOdOkA0123]

Veres Zoli, nem Varga...

[murgatroid]

you're weird

[cosminx2003]

how did he die?

[angryace13]

crashed his plane by accedent, verry sad =(

[csfreak89]

that is what happen when you are an aerobatic pilot. dangerous job

[Woadin]

That's how we roll. R.I.P. Brother

[voitkid]

I'm pretty sure I can do that if I get my lungs back to where they can breath right under 3sec/90deg turns. Pressure would be my issue. Party dudes all the way, some amazing people.

[ASBO1THE1GREAT]

Shut up you fool.

[DjembeGuy68]

Jim Leroy, Bobby Younkin, and Jimmy Franklin. The Masters of DIsaster. Best of the Best. RIP guys.

[birdsofmetal]

The song is Life by Devin Townsend

[waztashw]

@birdsofmetal The video is shit but yes, he can fly. A+

[costaricanpilot]

whats the name of the song?

[shaggyxb]

Jim Leroy and Jimmy Franklin are both in the video. They were one of a kind. I remember meeting Jimmy Franklin in Iowa in 88 and 89 at a r/c airshow where Franklin put on a sweet full scale show. I saw the bulldog for the first time in 02 i think at thunder in the valley in columbus ga. both will be missed

[ATUSchool]

Watching and educated pilot is a THING OF BEAUTY!

[adam7687]

wow nice job love the knife edge pass, he has some serious balls

[kbarton21]

The maker of this video did an excellent job with a killer background song. Jim Leroy was and alway will be a huge inspiration to all of us aviation enthusiast out there.

[sktfucker212]

the best aero pilot is petter and he is hungarian , dont bullshitt us

[envagyokaznemlatod]

Így van Varga Zoli simán meg csinálja ugyanezt .

Mellesleg a fehér Mol-os extra 300 sokkal szebb mint ez a kétfedelű :D

peace

[jmscho1]

@sktfucker212

Opinions vary…

[trab1925]

great video!

[banditopilot]

I was the one that talked jim into using van halen into his flying video years ago. We used to chat online at night and we bs about many things. Politics at oshkosh,his dog other people in the industry. Jim was a down to earth guy. Too bad he had to leave joan and jr. so soon. It was a sad day to see my friend leave.Tucker is fun to watch but Jim was like watching a wild animal be tame for a few mins and do sweet tricks.

[Raycer14]

Like Best Aerobatic Avition Video on YOUTUBE!!! Thanks for posting it

[Jeremyt1881]

Great video! What song is that?

Devin Townsend - Life

[Tanatos03PL]

Once again i have to say: Shame i've never seen him, and i'll never wee him... RIP Jim!

[piloty5]

what happend to jim

[NaFenn12]

he crashed during an airshow

[shaggyxb]

thats why it is a tribute. He and Jimmy fraklin were one of a kind..... you ever meet them.....

Not only was the bull dog a great aerobatic pilot but he was also a marine. Any service man or women has my vote.

[gumzy33]

i went to Eaa today and sadly jim wasnt there ..to the day of his accident..u r truely missed JIM ..SEMPER FI..I KNW UR STILL FLYING UP THERE..PEACE AND LOVE..

[birdsofmetal]

You're so right, thanks for posting this!

[lakeguy929]

Today, July 28, 2008 marks one year since Jim's untimely passing. He always took the time for his younger fans.

We miss you Jim, Jimmy and Bobby. Blue skies forever and Semper Fi Jim!

[birdsofmetal]

Sorry I only speak French and English!

[crearank]

una cagada este video. las secuencias son tan cortas que no se aprecia nada.

[Krocksahalwi]

awesome!!

[imnazhole]

Yall want a long and safe career in aviation? I stress to you one word and one ideology that kept me totally accident and incident free until 9/11:SAFETY, SAFETY and SAFETY. Even as an airshow performer you have to stress that everyday you fly..... or else it's the law of averages knocking at your door one day.

[James1toknow]

You couldn't be more right @@@ this and all levels of flight and even in life! great comment!

[moosey4life]

A legend....

[shaun17304]

Im a pilot who goes to indiana state I also work at a intl airport where jim leroy attended 3 years in a row infact his next show was going to be at are airport we had the billboards up everywhere on the highways and he died the weekend before so we had to go around and take them all down Ive talked to him many times real down to earth guy huge loss to the pilot community

[embryro]

It's a dream

[brauer42]

just incredible.

[birdsofmetal]

This is what I was telling my mom. The Show in Bagtoville was great, but most of it it was all because of Jim and without him, it really won't be the same :(

[plutonze]

I went to Quebec Airshow in 2006, and the weather was so bad that most of the planes were grounded. But Jim took off and did his show anyway. He practically saved the whole airshow that day. I'll never forget it. Rest in peace Jim Leroy.

[imnazhole]

plutonze, so Jim was the only one who took off that day to save the Airshow at Quebec, 2006 when no one else had the guts.

Well that reminds me of an old airman's proverb.

How's that saying go, say it with me land lubbers: There are old pilots, there are bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots.

[bedwin13]

only a marine

[superfroink]

Sick.

[birdsofmetal]

Saw that on TV last night :(

[kubaSWAT]

:( 2 polish pilots died in accident on AIR SHOW RADOM 2007 :(

[birdsofmetal]

He was from Lake City, Fla.

[ninjabgone]

RIP he was a great pilot does anyone know where he was from

[birdsofmetal]

you're welcome kubaswat! Oh yes he'll be missed! I wish he was still alive, he was such a great pilot!!

[lawman747]

am a member of the PGR. I was at the services for Jim. America has lost another Hero. He will truley be missed.

[birdsofmetal]

The title of this song is Life by Devin Townsend

[kubaSWAT]

Thank you!

[']

[stkjnkrs87]

Jim performed at Ilopango Air Show in El Salvador, Central America in 2004, awesome show!!! We send our condolences...

[2cloud9]

Jim was such a fantastic man and AMAZING pilot... it is always such a sad day when the aerobatic community loses one of it's own... much love Jim. Hope you are flying high in the sky.

[kubaSWAT]

nice, whats the title of this song?

[birdsofmetal]

Thanks guy! I thought that I'd do a little something for Jim since he became my hero when I met him at Quebec during the International Airshow!

[JimiDanza1]
