Things came to an abrupt holt at the Vectren Dayton Air Show on Saturday. At around 12h45, spectators were left flabbergasted as the plane with stunt pilot and wing-walker crashed into the ground and burst into flames.
The pair have been identified as Jane Wicker and Charlie Schweker. A post off the official Jane Wicker Airshows page on Facebook said:
It is with sad hearts that we announce that Jane Wicker and Charlie Schwenker were tragically killed while performing at the Vectren Dayton Airshow. We ask for your prayers for the families and privacy of all involved and allow them time to grieve and work through these events,
Fortunately no spectators were injured but the video above shows the harrowing ordeal that they had to witness.
A spectator said:
I noticed it was upside-down really close to the ground. She was sitting on the bottom of the plane,” he said. “I saw it just go right into the ground and explode.
The rest of the Saturday portion of the air show was cancelled. For more information on what Jane Wicker and Charlie Scheweker used to do, you can visit the Facebook page here.
