I have just learned that Tex Edwards was killed in a car accident Monday night.
I don't have any other details, other than a service at their ranch at Big Spring in West Texas on Friday, I believe.
I have known Connie Edwards since I came into warbirds, and have watched Tex grow from a teenager into a young man.
They were the old time base of CAF and EAA, and I am having a hard time writing this. Like so many others he should have had more time to enjoy life, and us to enjoy it with him.
One quick little story that I didn't witness but heard about Tex, He once entered a flour bombing contest at some local fly in. His TBM carried a LOT of flour. He missed the target, but gave a good coating to the judges.
