Very sad indeed. I knew the pilot from my visits to the airshows and he was absolutely the nicest person. Very experienced gent and took the time to talk to everyone.
My hope is someday the families of the victims will find peace and the airshow may resume operations once the details of this accident are discovered and can improve safety going forward.
Here it is flying over my house recently.

A tragic way to end a long, and distinguished, existence...and with a terrible loss of life too.
