Air show accident kills wing walker, pilot

The accident occurred as wing walker Jane Wicker and her pilot Charlie Schwenker were performing an upside down stunt close to the ground.

The 450 HP Stearman bi-plane suddenly dipped and the wing that Wicker was sitting on plowed in to the ground and the plane followed in a burst of flames and debris.

Wicker had tweeted about how excited she was to be in Dayton for the show before the accident occurred.
