Crash At Dayton Air Show Blamed On Pilot Error

whio.com

Federal investigators say pilot error is the likely cause of a fatal crash at last year's Dayton Air Show.  National Transportation Safety Board officials say the pilot was flying too slow and too low. An initial State Highway Patrol investigation also attributed the crash to pilot error. 64-year-old Pilot Charles Schwenker and 45-year-old wing walker Jane Wicker were killed.
