It was a bad weekend for airshow performers. The local news did not do much other than show graphic video of a biplane spinning into the ground and a wing walker falling to his death. I came to the EAA web site and found no information. Please post details of names and locations. I expect the families have already been notified.

Grant,

You are certainly correct. This past weekend has been a tragic weekend for airshow performers, actually going back to March of this year, we've lost 4 from our community. Very sad.

The information that you were unable to find, had actually already been posted in another section.
