Unfortunately,
Jim LeRoy died on July 28, 2007 performing in Dayton, Ohio. |
|
|
Jim
LeRoy performed a a high energy aerobatics display in his modified Pitts
"Bulldog". If you saw him fly, it was something you
would never forget. He will be missed. |

I
had the good fortune to do some air/air photography with Jim and the Iron
Eagles at the Fitchburg Airport's 2002 Autumn Air-Fest. |

His
regular show features a lot of low level flying. |
|
|
|
|
And
lots of vertical flying. |

It
also includes a great ribbon cutting demo. |

|
In
one of the more amazing maneuvers that Jim performs, he comes down the
flight line sideways at minimum altitude and speed. With very little
room for error, he proceeds to roll the aircraft. |
