Imagine what he could do with a nice new Edge.

[FireFighterrock24]

i have a passion for flying and all and im a high hour pilot but 1:14 was the best part!

[davidduval17]

Bye jim ='(

[meloni1985]

same question here, what is the title of this song?

[danilindao]

The original music was Van Halen's Why Cant This Be Love, but the one on the video today is Making me Nevous, from Brad Sucks...

[meloni1985]

Thanks!

[airmanacepilot]

Could anyone help me out with the band and name of this song???

[placidesulfurik]

gotta love the Pitts S2S bulldog

[kainegalloway]

what is the stunt at 2:32 called?

[chubsmagoo]

Jim always called it the "micro loop"

[SICRedhawk]

It is called "Cobra" with a loop at the end!;-)

[calmapiatta80]

Rodz10x, i' m sorry. spam for error . . .

[Rodz10x]

WMG. What a pack of wankers. Doesn't diminish the incredible quality of his flying though. Did they think that he was still alive and promoting his business using the song? There could be no other reasonable excuse for such churlish behaviour.

[ninjabgone]

i wonder if you could repost the orginal video with van halen music and just put the song in the title

[Clogomide]

nice one, but better off without song, I like the sound of the orinal engine screaming, but its a nice anyway, congratulations. tks 4 post it.

[brendonreeves]

The movie is awesome!!! The music is shithouse. The Van Halen song fitted perfect.

[danilindao]

I AGREE 100%... pity those WMG assholes do such things...

[flydaddy172]

I wish you could have kept the van halen

vid it was bad ass just like Jim.This music sucks and doesnt do the vid justice.But Jim still rocks on and WMG sucks!

[ThundaDownUnder]

Top entertainment, wish I could have seen him in action, great vid work.

[handgun1]

FLY ON BULLDOG FLY ON!!!!!!

[GUTTERbOY001]

RIP Jim. Without a doubt, one of the most dynamic and entertaining pilots I ever had the privilege to see fly. And to top that off, a humble man whom I also had the privilege to meet.

[James1toknow]

May God hold his wings in his merciful hands and guide him to his Love.

From a brother Marine.

Semper Fi, Jim Leroy.

R.I.P.

[corpsegrinder1977]

Jim was one of the best pilots I have ever had the privilage af seing perform. He will be missed.

[nmfan99]

its sad that he died, but you can not deny the fact that if you keep screwing around that close to the ground sooner or later your gonna hit it...

[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!

[BartFart30]

Jim LeRoy was an awsome pilot,factiod dude must not have anything between his legs because if this guys performance did't give u a hardon and chills up ur spine i don,t no what would. If u don't like it don't watch the video

[edge540fan]

segeant137 and sosapilot u r so right what a fantastic pilot with a class plane

[sergeant137]

Ok, why the hell do we all have to argue about this great pilot... He died doing something he loved, and if you all want to stay in your house and be scared of going outside because something might happen then by all means do so! The man was great, and he died by a few inche, and from knowing Jim the bit that I did, he'd have much rather died from flying than by pretty much anything else. If he had to go, then this is the way he wanted to do it... and if yo uhate aerobatics, then don't the vid.

[vincefish]

A very good pilot soprecise flight, i don't know him before but if he was killed in flight it was because he loved risk. And risk contribute to sucess for aerobatics pilots!

[1factoid]

He crashed because he was a dumbass just like all the other aerobatic freaks who stink up the world with their bullshit risk taking and then buy the farm. Fuck them all!

[sosapilot]

jackass much....He loved what he did, and did it because he loved it. I don't see how aerobatic pilots even affect you. Plus, you don't make any sense, being a pilot has nothing to do with buying a farm you retard

[1factoid]

Well, I sure HOPE he "loved" it cause "IT" fucking KILLED HIM!!!!!!

[sosapilot]

I'm aware of that, and what does it matter to you, he died doing what he loved. I guess you can just stay inside in your protective bubble and be free of harm

[1factoid]

Is that what you want to do, Snappy!? DIE doing "SOMETHING YOU LOVE"!? You think that's real ROMANTIC!? Well, for you and all the the other fawning, self-deluded CRACK WHORES of AVIATION the LAST thing I want to do is DIE doing something "I love."  How about dying doinig something you HATE!? Like GOING TO WORK!?

[sosapilot]

ok, that makes no sense, I'd rather be doing something I like rather than something I don't, but whatever. I'm not going to argue anymore, because there;s no point

[1factoid]

It makes "no sense" to idiots. Congratulations!

[edge540fan]

oh yeah and you seem to know a lot about that subject thats very suspicious.

[1factoid]

Now, now, let's now project our insecurities. You must seek professional help for you love of cock. It may, in fact, be for you. But, a trained professional should be consulted. Have you had your penis surgically removed yet? Or, are you going to play the DIKE role!?

[edge540fan]

i cant be bothered arguing anymore YOURE WRONG. i dont care what you say. say what you want about leroy everyone including me knows youe wrong so it doesnt matter what you say. every comment youre just showing more and more how stupid you really are so go home an SHUT THE HELL UP face it youre wrong.

[edge540fan]

shut up 1factoid i am NOT gay so shut up and go TRY drag someone else down.

[1factoid]

Denial is unhealthy. You MUST allow your inner-self to rule your reality. And it's cruel to keep a girlfriend around for cover. That's not fair to her. Let her go so she can pursue her own heterosexual life. Being dishonest with her will only hurt you both. Say goodbye to her and go after the TRUE love of your life. Wonderful men are out there waiting, my friend. Ciao!

[edge540fan]

LOOK I AM NOT GAY OK. there are loads of people who think leroy was a gr8 pilot doesnt mean there gay. all i said was leroy was a great pilot ok. which is undisputable.

[1factoid]

The first step towards healing is to admit what we are, and what we're not. Be brave and take that first baby step towards salvation. After that, just keep repeating, "I'm Gay," "I'm Gay," "I'm Gay."

[edge540fan]

the guy was extremely talented, you obvoisly arent so youre TRYING to drag him down its not working end of story

[1factoid]

He' DEAD and I'm NOT. END OF STORY!

[edge540fan]

YOU STUPID IDIOT jim was one of the best he was safe safer than you crossing the road. HE MADE HIS STUNTS LOOK DANGEROUS doesnt mean they were dangerous at least not with leroy flying them. so shut up and go hide in a dark room and imagine what it would be like to be good at something. its the closest youlle ever get to being good at something

[1factoid]

Dude, look, It's obvious you had this GAY thing for Leroy. I'm sorry your imaginary lover is toast but that's not my fault. There are PLENTY of other men out there who would be more than happy to have you. You WILL GO ON!

[edge540fan]

whatever. ur wrong U KNOW KNOTHING ABOUT AEROBATICS. he never crashed from flying low or any other stunt he could do them safer than you can cross the road. remember the crash wasnt his fault he was unlucky with the weather if u wanna TRY ( i say try becuase its not working ) to drag him and all other aerobatic pilots you do that. you are just showing everyone how stupid and ignorant you are. well said brendonreeves and funkyzero.

[edge540fan]

can anyone tell me what happened to the x-team after jim leroy died? cos skips very good and it would be a shame to stop x-team. leroy could never be replaced but there are probably lots of good pilots who would wanna join such a good team.

[edge540fan]

oh and 1factoid about ur last comment about how dangerous aerobatics are blah blah etc. aerobatics r not dangerous there have been lots of very good pilots over the years not a lot crashed there has been fewer great pilots ( like leroy, besenyie and chambliss ) and even less a percentage of these have crashed. you are probably more dangerous in your car than leroy is 5 ft of the ground in the bulldog at 200mph. anyway very sad at leroys death he didnt deserve to die. gr8 vid to a gr8 pilot.

[1factoid]

Dude, if you want to crawl up Leroy's ass and eat corn out of his shit then go right ahead. Jim Leroy is NOTHING! OK, N O T H I N G! He WAS (WAS IS the operative word here) an adrenalin junky who needed his FIX and no better than any crack-head who needed his. Any idiot who flies so low across the water that spray is coming over his windscreen is ONE STUPID MOTHER FUCKER ANY WAY YOU CUT IT, and no amount of fawning groveling at his feet (actually gravestone) is going to convince me otherwise!

[edge540fan]

1factoid words cant express how WRONG you are. jim was one of the best pilots to ever live. and if u think aerobatics are to dangerous and stupid then why are you watching aerobatic vids? i am a training pilot and can appreciat the incredible talent on display here. anyway gr8 vid gr8 pilot gr8 plane and gr8 music. oh nd 1factoid learn to fly before you ATTEMPT to drag leroy down.

[funkyzero]

1factoid:

You inane Fool.Jim was among the finest to ever fly, routinely pulling +-9G,and the head to keep it straight.Man couldn't build a machine that Jim couldn't abuse beyond it's physical limits.I watched Jim countless times and even watched him burn to death in Dayton that day. He was a fine Marine, engineer and outstanding pilot, the last of the Masters to go down.God bless Jimmy,Bobby and Jim Leroy. 1factoid, there is a spot in hell awaiting your fouled soul.

[1factoid]

Obviously NOT QUITE the "finest" cause he's now worm food! Well, if there's a "spot in hell waiting for me" I'll be sure and say hello to all those 'Grand Masters' down there for you!

[meggark]

flying at the edge as these guys do, it takes only the tiniest mistake to cause disaster, Jim was an incredible pilot, his displays were some of the best. You cannot dispute otherwise. Even pilots like kirby chambliss and peter besenyei have crashed. Have some respect you ignorant fool and learn to fly before u comment on the proficiency of other pilots.

[1factoid]

You just proved my point which IS that this kind of flying is stupidly dangerouns, ergo you have to be real STUPID to do it, OR you're an adrenaline junky no different from a crack junkie who needs his FIX! In both cases it gets you killed. THAT'S my point, and I thank you for making it for me.

[brendonreeves]

Jim Leroy was the best aerobatic pilot I've seen. The skill and guts it took to pull off some of his tricks was awesome. As for the comment from 1factoid, What an idiot... He or it is odviously a person with no goals, no ambitions, and never been good at anything. Must be jealous of the following Leroy had and still has. 1factoid, What a dead head!

[1factoid]

Obviously I'm a HELL of a lot better at STAYING ALIVE! Can't be "jealous" of someone who's rotting in the ground, fuck-head.

[1factoid]

Why are you writing about this guy using present tense? He's dead, douche bag. D E A D. Like, there's no use talking about how "great" he WAS, and WAS is the operative word, here. And "great"? Define "great." Obviously not that "great" since he's dead, or did I mention that already?

[sergeant137]

great song to a great pilot...

may the bulldog live on in skip and the x-team...

Tinstix, Lambchop, and Masters of Mayhem are very fitting tributes!

[ravricardo]

I love the Bucker and I love Van Halen too!

Great vid, this guy is amazing!

[yala073]

always so good !!!

a real pleasure each time !!!

thank you Jimmy .

thousand kisses for your wife and your son.

Franck from France (yala073 on youtube)

[placidesulfurik]

Pitts S2S is my opinion a better aerobatic airplane than the extra 300s. she's slower, but does a way better yaw and has a lower stall speed. she's way nicer as well... Extra is perfect for red bull air race for example, or high-speed tricks, but Pitts is way more gracious as an "air-dancer", like i like to call'm

[SICRedhawk]

love the aircraft, song and the stunts!!! can´t really get enough of the video!! sorry for my english, i am german!!;)

[1factoid]

Another dead dumbass "aerobatic star."

[lucabonfi]

Semplicemente SPETTACOLARE!!!!!!!!!!

[leleco96]

this is a jim leroy is a best of world and music for van helen why can't this be love!

[acorn308]

semper fidelis marine, you will be missed.

[keeper331]

THE BEST...RIP JIM

[AdigAWE]

This guy is amazing

[wifm047]

Jim was the best of the best. THe world of aviation lost a really special guy when we lost Jim. I guess he's up there flying with the angels now.

[Yurginator]

That's a man to speak to with "Sir"

most of the people with that title don't even deserve it. This is one who deserve tons of titles. Nice one. I hope God likes your show

[lawman747]

Hi I was at the Funeral for Jim. I am a member of the PGR. It was an Honor to be there for him and his family and friends. America has lost another Hero. He will truly be missed

[SerginhoD]

I was impressed since the very first time i saw your flying. Cant believe... Sleep well! Rest in peace, Jim!

[popeye539]

My wife and I were at Dayton OH. I said after his first flight that he was so good that we were going to Janesville WI this coming weekend to see him again. Little did I know that would never happen. He was the best I ever saw and I am still in shock at what I and thousands of others witnessed. God Bless you Jim and your family is in my prayers.

[stevep316]

jim leroy was one of the best airshow pilots ive ever seen. its a sad day for aviation having lost a great pilot and an overall nice guy. i last saw him at the sussex county air show back in 2005 with jimmy franklin and bobby younkin. my prayers go out to his wife and child.cant believe they are all gone now.

[chubsmagoo]

God is watching one of the best airshows ever put together now. Gods Speed Jim and thank you for making us smile, laugh and wonder in amazement.

[jorabich]

fly high jim!!!

[YooperIC59]

Jim, I am so very saddened that the angels had taken you from this earth, your family, and the avaition community. After meeting with you at Selfridge, you proved to me that you are not only a great pilot, but a great person as well. I wish you fair winds in your new beginnings and when I hear that distinct sound of a Pitts, I will think of you!! I will think of your family who may not understand...why? Goodbye Jim!

[sevitts07]

rest in peace jim.....he was one of the best pilots at dayton

[burningcow422]

rest in peace my man.

loved watching you fly.

[flywamsr]

It is with GREAT sadness that the "MASTERS of DISASTER" are ALL flying again.

[acrolite]

Rest in Peace, Jim.

[dbw1453]

Tragically Jim died today (July 28) following a crash at the Dayton Air Show 2007. He died doing what he loved, aerobatics.

[rllacey]

God Bless you Jim. You died doing what you loved.

[kevdogg195]

Rest in Peace Jim. Jim died at the Dayton Airshow in Ohio on 7/28/07.

[qpwoeial]

Jim Leroy was killed today in a crash in Dayton, OH. The airshow community has lost one of its very finest.

[blacksabfan]

I was there when it happened. Quite shocking to say the least. RIP Mr. Leroy.

[asofgj]

god im so sick of people adding music to they're air show videos. the engine of the plane is all the music you need, music takes away from the experience.

[komho]

wait me jim

[Airshowfan2]

awesome Video. Whats the Music?

[popslittleman2000]

its Why cant this be love by Van Halen

[Chingy1227]
