Civilian aircraft down at Langley

For those didn't know Rob, he was "the Tom Brady" of the aerobatic world (for lack of a better comparison).  And a very, very pleasant and humble person.  A dedicated professional who wanted to always be the best.  And he was.  

Him him...

    Looking forward to seeing what the experts discover. 

    NOT looking forward to what the YouTube aircraft ambulance chasers will speculate on, to get their ratings up.

    NTSB initial report is out and they are indeed focused on a structural/mechanical failure. 

    Have two friends who were witnesses and described the same things seen in the video.  I am sure the final report will have much greater detail.

    The video does a good job discussing the counter weight system Rob installed on his aircraft and the initial findings related to that system.  Rob is repeatedly lauded for being a great pilot and human.
