Death at the Dayton Air Show.....

[poltr1]

I found out this morning that a stunt pilot was killed in a crash at the Dayton Air Show on Saturday. In the 30+ years that the air show has been held, this is the first fatality. Here's the news coverage from WHIO-TV, which has broadcast the air show for a number of years.

I also found out today that three engineers working on the motor for SpaceShipTwo were killed on Thursday when a nitrous oxide tank exploded. Here's the news article I found.

Air and space travel still have their inherent risks.

I'm shocked and saddened.
