X-team shows off on sunday

The X-team, consisting of Jim Leroy, John Mohr, the Shockwave Jet Truck and Rich's Incredible Pyro perform at the sunday 2006 Airpower over Hampton Roads airshow in a tribute to the masters. The show was once known as the Masters Of Diaster, before a tragic crash in 2005 that killed two members, Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin.

On July 28th, the airshow community lost Jim Leroy, the greatest airshow pilot ever. May he rest in peace and please contribute to the fund for his 4 year old boy Tommy.

I am sure this is a great video but after watching the mid air collision between Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin I could not watch. They are amazing pilots but it terrifies me to see this act now :(

I'm sorry you witnessed what happen. I've seen video of it and proably will never forget it. Thanks for your coment. In my opinion, the X-team knows what they are doing, and it was a freak accident. once again, Condolencies to Kyle and Amanda Franklin.

I was at the dayton airshow today and saw the crash of jim leroy.....he just didn't get enough clearance and hit the ground. I enjoyed watching his show every year and i hope and pray that his family has the strength to carry on. Jim was a good guy.

I'm so mad, this was like the greatest part of the show (On my tape) and my sister deleted it before I could put it on the computer! (But I'm not going to let that happen to the '07 version (Check channel))
