GregS Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Just to clarify, Jim LeRoy died at the 2007 Dayton Air show ( i was glad I had to leave early and didn't have to witness that one either) They have not released the pilots name for Jane W's act. there is video of the crash at the dayton daily news website (i will not post a link to that) search for it if you really want to watch it, it is quick and very violent.
