Airshow Pilot Lost

[Bill Greenwood]

Sadly, there was a fatal accident at Travis AFB today, and it was Eddie Andreini in his Stearman, apparently from a low level inverted act.
He was a long time show pilot from Half Moon Bay, California and also flew a Yak in an acro show.

I didn't know him well,but we had dinner with him last year in Seattle at the NWOC meeting there. He seemed like a nice guy with a good sense of humor, and a zest for life.

I had asked him about learning to fly the Yak and he said to give him a call and come out sometime when I had the chance.

RIP
