Howard Pardue

[Big_Jim]

I am hearing tragic news out of Breckenridge, Texas today that Howard Pardue was killed in the crash of his F8F-1 Bearcat N14HP.

Details will follow, I'm sure.

Howard was a LOT of fun and a great character. He will be missed.

RIP, my friend.

Very sad news indeed. A few years ago I got to wipe the bugs off the wings of that Bearcat.
Very sad day.

God Speed Howard.
