I saw an aerobatic routine done once in a Beech SMB. It was pretty cool but a little scary at the same time lol.

Would that be the late Bobby Younkin in his red/black Beech?

I am sorry to say I do not not remember this gentleman's name however I do believe that he also was lost in an aircraft accident. This was some years prior to Mr Younkin's accident I believe. This Beech was painted in a Navy SNB scheme, however he was not killed in the Beech if I recall properly.

Bobby's son, Matt Younkin is planning on flying the Twin Beech at some air shows this year. I saw Bobby fly the Lear Jet at Terre Haute, IN back in July 2003, but was never fortunate enough to see him fly the Beech routine. I am hoping to be able to catch Matt with the Beech at Terre Haute this September.

Bobby Younkin did some amazing stuff,
The Lear 23 was wonderful.
The Beech 18, back in the SNB colors and the Black/Red.
The most impressive to me was watching him at Sun-n-Fun doing amazing aerobatics in a Decathalon.
