Plane down at Dayton Airshow

[N18040]

I just saw Jane Wicker's Stearman go down maybe 200 yards in front of me at show center, and it doesn't look good. I'll type up more details when I'm not on my phone.

Sad, sad, day.

There is a video link in the news story. Wish I could unwatch it. Worse than the Bagram 747.

Tough to watch that. RIP

Thanks. My friend wasn't flying. Condolences for the airshow community's loss. Terrible tragedy.

Was Rock flying? Sad I think she has two teenage sons.

Wow that was hard to watch. But I am not really sure what happened.

Here's a link to an article on Jane in AOPA Pilot magazine in 2011 for those that don't know about her.
