DAMN, that sucks
Tragic. T&P.
Roy was a badass on the mound.

Third Icon A5 crash in a year. Hate to say it but this is what happens when you market a plane as a pseudo jet ski and plane to people with very little to no flight experience then let them take it home with just minimal training and an LSA license.
Tragic... Guy was an absolute stud
T&P's to the Halladay family.
Terrible news.
Thoughts and prayers with family, friends, and teammates.

Is the video gone. What did it say?
Basically just a marketing piece for the company that makes the plane. Showed Roy flying it and checking it out in the facility as it neared completion.
But the kicker was his wife talking about how at first she didn't want him to fly but after being up in it she understood and loved it too... very sad and obvious why they took it down.

What an absolute beast on the mound.
His poor family...

Hall of Famer. Very similar numbers to Whitey Ford. 10 years of dominance. 20 shutouts. 2 no-hitters, including a perfect game and a play-off no-no. When Kershaw retires with less than 250 victories, we'll realize how meaningless victory totals are in today's game.
Can't believe I was looking at his baseball card last night, and telling my 9 year old how great that Phillies rotation was.

It seems like a neat, fun little airplane to fly. However, when the lead designer and the company's top engineer are both killed in one, seemingly while hot-rodding around, it should give one pause about what kind of safety culture the outfit has.
Case in point: one of the videos that Roy posted was of him flying around above a broken to overcast cloud deck; something that, while legal, is a pretty foolish thing to do for a new, inexperienced VFR pilot. The fact that he not only did this but also recorded and posted it online for the world to see points to a serious deficiency in whatever factory training he received.

I just saw this.
Rough.

The certification for the plane was issued Monday, meaning the aircraft was brand new, according to the Federal Aviation Administration's website.
