I knew of her and her abilities, but have never met her personally. Wish I had though, I've seen her acrobatics.
She's from Santa Paula, which is about 425 miles south of me.

I must to up to the skies again, to the white clouds and the grey,
And all I ask is a high launch, and the chance to 'get away';
And the wing's surge, and the wind's song, and the quiet clouds' drifting,
And a heat-haze on the land's face, and the warm air's lifting
I must go up to the skies again, for the call to soar and glide,
Is a free call, and a clear call, that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a sunlit day, and the bright height's gaining,
'Neath the 'new-cu' that towers above, and it's lift maintaining
I must go up to the skies again, to the peace of silent flight,
To the gull's way, and the hawk's way, and the free wings' delight;
And all I ask is a friendly joke with a laughing fellow rover,
And a large beer, and a deep sleep, when the long flight's over.

The blue skies is your home now.
May you rest in peace.

That's a real shame. I hope someone finds the cause of the crash.

Santa Paula airport will never be the same. When we got the news on Saturday, I was at the Camarillo airshow, and there were a lot of long faces from it. She was a great pilot, mentor and friend to many. I will be donating a few of my photos of her to her memorial.
We'll miss you Vicki...
