Some may know or have heard of him, or maybe his father. He flew the yellow book Pitts in airshows long ago. He fought some personal issues but I considered him a friend. Justin spent about 50 hours in a Pitts with him now several years ago.

"Eddie inherited his love of airplanes and flying from our Dad and spent his career as a pilot, aerobatic pilot and flight instructor. He wowed people all over the U.S. with his aerial maneuvers as part of an aerobatic team and could be seen often piloting one of Dad's homebuilt bi-planes. He was a gifted pilot, won numerous awards and ate, drank and slept airplanes."
For those who may have known him or his father
