I was not there on Saturday, but saw this on the evening news.  It is a risk all the pilots know about.  His wife was there and watched it happen.

Rest in peace.

DAYTON, Ohio —  An award-winning stunt pilot who performed in air shows across the country was killed Saturday when his biplane crashed in front of thousands of people.

Never a good thing... Saw a fatal Air Show crash when I was about 10 years old. Lady pilot flying a bi plane, just drilled into the tarmac. Do not recall the exact cause of the accident, but I do still remember it vividly today (I was right at the fence for a perfect view).

I had the misfortune of going to that one. First time in 4 years. Unless you was very close to the front or had an elevated position all you could see was smoke.

Blind Faith in your leaders or your country will get you killed.

Extremist are nuts on either side. Moderation is key in seeking the truth.
