Pilot dies in second crash at US show within 24 hours
Thousands of people were watching from a distance but no one was injured when a T-28 fixed-wing plane in a civilian aerobatics group wobbled and crashed on Saturday, authorities said. Many in the crowd hugged each other and cried after seeing the aircraft appear to disintegrate in a fireball.
The ill-fated aircraft was part of a T-28 acrobatic team that tours the nation performing in air shows such as the Thunder Over the Blue Ridge air show organised over the weekend at an airport near Martinsburg, according to General James Hoyer, West Virginia Air National Guard adjutant.
