Plane with wing walker crashes at Ohio air show, kills 2

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Officials are reporting two killed at Ohio air

show when a plane carrying a wing walker crashed and burst in flames,

according to the Associated Press.

Authorities say the crash killed the pilot and stunt walker. Media

outlets are reporting that a stunt plane carrying a wing walker has

crashed at an air show in western Ohio.

Dayton International Airport spokeswoman Linda Hughes and Ohio State

Highway Patrol Lt. Anne Ralston confirmed the deaths to the Associated

Press on Saturday.

The crash happened early Saturday afternoon at the Vectren Air Show

near Dayton. No spectators were injured.

The show has been canceled for the remainder of the day. The names of

those killed weren't released immediately.

A schedule posted on the event's website had Jane Wicker scheduled to perform.

A video posted on WHIO-TV shows the plane turn upside-down as a person

sits on top of the wing. The plane then tilts and crashes to the

ground, exploding into flames as spectators scream.

A fire dispatcher confirmed a crash Saturday to the Associated Press

but had no other information.

The Dayton Daily News and several TV stations say the plane burst into

flames when it hit the ground. A firetruck extinguished the blaze.

No one on the ground was hurt.

A spokeswoman for the Vectren Air Show near Dayton didn't immediately

return a telephone message seeking comment.
