He always said air show performers never retire...
Three dead at the Reno Air Races this year. Biplane Champion racing plane Rose Peregrine, a Mong highly modified crashed on a test flight, first time pilot Steve Dari killed Tues; Jet Class L-39 wake turbulence over-control recovery crash took Brad Morehouse on Thursday; and Formula One Champion Gary Hubler was lost in yesterday's horrific mid-air on Pylon 1 which Jason Somes managed to get down and survive with badly damaged flight controls and half the stab/elevator torn off as well as no gear. The wreckage carried into the pylon base and hit 4 cars ending up wedged underneath one of them. 2 pylon judges injured.
Whitely, John Calentine and Glen Allison are here too, all safe.
Were leaving the hotel now, pray for a safe show.

Edited as the information was inaccurate at the time of the post. No one on the ground was killed and two pylon judges injured slightly.
