It's Good To Be Lucky... And It's Lucky To Be Good -- Greg Koontz Is Both One of the airshow industry's more experienced performers had an 'interesting' incident during this Thursday performance at the recently concluded 2012 Oshkosh EAA AirVenture airshow. Greg Koontz, known for his precise work in a bright red Decathlon (his previous Decathlon pictured below) showed up with a new airplane for this year's show and wound up using up more of his luck and skill than he cared to expend. In a recent chat with ANN, Koontz told the tale of what could have been a very bad day, rather dispassionately. As he undertook his first performance in a brand new Super Decathlon... an airplane he had picked up at the factory just a few days before... he did not expect what would transpire just a few short minutes into its inaugural outing.
