Vicki was a friend of mine, and a fellow Unlimited Aerobatic competitor and air show pilot. My friends on the scene tell me and broken rudder cable was most likely for her inability to pull out after performing a one and a half rotation snaproll while flying straight down. The annual mortality rate for those of us who fly air shows or compete in aerobatic at the unlimited level is 1% to 2%. A stunning rate of carnage unmatched in any other area of sport including top-level automobile racing or rock climbing. Is it worth it? To those of us who do it.......Yes. After you do this, you can't go back to playing golf. Godspeed Vikki.Chip Beck

I can't believe how cold and arrogant some of you are... not to mention, arrogant. I know that some of you are just young teenagers with a big mouth...and I guess that is forgivable, if not laughable. But some of you are adults. Act like one. Someone lost their life, the story and the pilot deserve more than just a snide comment... if you are going to comment at all.

The number of stupid comments about this noted aviator being killed is truly amazing. It would be intereting to look into the eyes of some of these people. It's a mixture of jealousy and ignorance that prompts these type responses. The same people will have unprotected sex without a thought and wonder why they were so unlucky as to get the clap. They are also the ones that think nothing of sentencing an unborn child to death because they had unprotected sex. Participating in this risky type flying just happens to have been her "choice" and she probably didn't plan on anyone, particularly herself, being killed. Those of you who write the nasty, unsympathetci comments would probably write the same comment if she was your mother.
