What an absolute sad season for lovers of airshows... Thoughts and compassion goes out to all injured, deceased and their familys and friends.

God rest the souls who died. From the accounts I saw on the news the plane was head toward the grandstand but an eyewitness thinks the pilot pulled it away to minimise casualties. It could have been worse than the Ramstein air show disaster if he hadn't done that.
A sad day

yeah it was a bad day for airshows here in the us. a t-28 crashed and killed the pilot in west virginia.

i can see where stricter regulations are going to be put into place...or shows eliminated....that would be a very sad day.

Another wingman down.

Another sad week-end for aviation-enthusiasts.

Looks like an elevator trim tab came off. That would quickly become a handful in a high G turn. Very unlucky. Really sad.
