Was that clouds or smoke going all the way to the deck? He's a heck of a flier. Great vid.

Thanks, I was right next to the runway about 500ft away from the crowdline. That made it real smokey and it was a vary hot steamy day.

Today, July 28, 2008 marks one year since Jim's untimely passing. I uploaded a poster which he autogrographed for my then 6 year old son. He always took the time for his younger fans.

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

Jim LeRoy was an outstanding performer to watch. I have seen him about 6 different times and it was always great. I saw him in Davenport performing Mary's Lamb this summer. Was one of the most exciting aerobatic and ground performances I have ever seen. Thoughts and Prayers are with the family and friends of Jim.
