Did he have a house on Lake Martin or do people know him from Birmingham?

I agree about that thought when it comes to flying. It has always seemed to me the best way to go is CFIT, not time to think about what went wrong, why is this happening. For me, my number one rule is the recognition that it can happen to me and not the other guy. A lot of my training and reading about flying focuses on how things went wrong and how to break the chain of events that if allowed to continue will not end well.

I have some time in an AT-6 and they are a great plane and very demanding to fly well. If something broke (like the elevator) at the bottom of a loop there is very little time and not much to be done. That's why aerobatics close to the ground are so dangerous and unforgiving of any mechanical problem or pilot error. The sad thing is they both we wearing parachutes but obviously had no time to get out.
