The X-Team Masters of Disaster

2004 AirPower Over Hampton Roads
Langley AFB, Virginia
Sunday May 24, 2004

IN THIS VIDEO, watch as Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin join Kent Shockley with the Shockwave Jet Truck in a performance known as the Masters of Disaster. Sadly, both of these pilots lost their lives on July 10, 2005 while flying this performance in Moose Jaw, SK. Jim LeRoy was also flying in that tragic performance but was not involved in the tragic accident. Sadly, Jim would also lose his life flying a newer version of an X-Team performance in July 2007. This video is dedicated to the lives of all three of those pilots.

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .
