Wing walker dies as plane crashes at air show
A 450 HP Stearman crashed at the Vectren Air Show in Dayton Ohio, killing pilot Jane Wicker and stunt walker aboard. Eyewitnesses described the aircraft flipping and exploding on impact near noon, as the event canceled for the day but planned to resume the next day. Executives noted reduced attendance and a $3.2 million local economic impact due to fewer military participants.
