Whattaguy! One of the nicest people in air racing. Jimmy Leeward!
Despite his outwardly calm look, this man has just stepped out of an airplane that he was flying 550mph laps at 50’ AGL a short time before! He took only a brief few moments to relax from the G’s he’d just been pulling (without a G suit I might add!) then posed for photographers in front of his still, very hot MiG.
Thanks for the show Jimmy! This gallery is presented for you and in honor of what you bring to this sport!
