I heard about this one as well....Another good pilot...... My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
I remember Jim 2yrs years ago on July 10,2005 he flew with another group called "Masters of Disasters" and both of the pilots Jimmy Franklin and Bobby Younkin were killed Jim's plane was the only one that made it that day.
This is a picture of Jim's plane just as it hit the end of the runway.It looks like he just didn't pull up in time coming out of a dive.The plane was one of two making loop-the-loops with smoke trailing as part of Dayton's air show. It slammed into the runway across a field and caught fire.
Jim is also a former US Marine..
