Eddie Andreini passed away on Sunday at Travis AFB on Sunday he was like a 2nd Dad to my friend
Craig "Buddy" Robinson. He Lived quite a life and at 77 he was doing some pretty amazing things.

This was His P-51 that he Restored and flew in Airshows

Also his Red Yac-9

and His Stearman stunt plane that he crashed in.

Didn't know of him, but my Dad flew a Stearman in WWII. Cool pic! And RIP Eddie.

Looked like he lost power just after inverting

You certainly couldn't land a plane upside down any better. If there was a text book entry for upside down landings, that landing would be textbook. He was one hell of a stick.
