Alan Henley, lead pilot for the team, was injured Tuesday night in an accident while playing with his children at his home in Birmingham, AL. Henley was taken to the University of Alabama Birmingham Hospital's trauma unit, and remains there in ICU in serious but stable condition. The Aeroshell team plans to fly at EAA's AirVenture in Oshkosh, WI next week, but will fly a three-ship routine in Alan's absence.
