Title: Lost another good one....
Post by: Mike on November 10, 2009, 09:05:10 PM: I just found out a Piaseki crashed this weekend in San Bernadino. I knew of the pilot and I know his son a little from meeting here and there.
Terribly sad. Not to mention the loss of a very rare machine... :'(

Shots facing west..... |:)\ |:)\ |:)\ |:)\
