Wing walker’s plane crashes at Dayton Air Show
DAYTON — Wing walker Jane Wicker’s plane has crashed as she sat on top of the 450 HP Stearman. (www.daytondailynews.com) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Was she supposed to be at the edge of the wing? That would make a pretty off balance loading righ?
She was not wearing a parachute, not that it would have saved her life but a sudden gust or miscalculation when trying to grab a handle or tube would mean absolute death.
That SUCKS!! Hideous.
I saw them at the Manassas Airshow last month. Very sad.
Horrible.

This is from 6/24 - a fairly detailed analysis on the cause of the crash - basically confirming what a lot of others have posted on this thread.
