An attorney specializing in suits related to aviation disasters has died after crashing his vintage plane at the Oregon International Airshow. Robert Guilford, 73, crashed his plane shortly after taking off Sunday at the airshow, the Portland (Ore.) Oregonian reported Monday. Guilford, a former federal prosecutor, was a licensed pilot and vintage airplane expert who worked at California law firm Baum Hedlund, which handles serious personal injury and wrongful death cases related to commercial transportation accidents, the Oregonian reported. The law firm was employed in the cases of more than 55 airline crashes, including the 1996 wreck of TWA Flight 800 near East Moriches N.Y., and the crash of an Egypt Air flight near Nantucket, Mass., in 1999.

I'm torn between ironic laughter, and gratitude to the Angel of Misfortune.

Well, I certainly hope no humans were injured....

73 is still pretty young, but maybe a 73 yro shouldn't be doing airline stunts among huge crowds over neighborhoods.......
I'll bet his estate will have its arsed sued royally.....

I saw a story yesterday about a crash in Oregon; I wonder if this was the same one. The one I saw hit some houses; I'm sure the homeowners could sue the estate.

The irony is so thick you need a Ginsu brand samurai sword to cut through it.

It was reported last night on Portland news that he crashed on takeoff and was not performing any stunts.
I think it's sad he died in the crash and that he crashed in a residential neighborhood.
