Just got a call from 'warbirddriver' who was flying Dave Tinker's TBM at Thunder. He told me that as he was departing he was held for a Medivac helicopter coming into take out one of the ground ops personnel. Anybody have further info?

I was up in Yankee Lady when it happened. I don't know exactly what happened, but I can confirm that it did not involve an aircraft.
