Absolutely tasteless on your part to post that as some sort of joke. Any clue who lost their life in that crash?

"The Flying Legends Airshow 1996 should be remembered as being the last airshow in which The Fighter Collections Chief Pilot, Hoof Proudfoot, would ever take part.
Hoof lost his life when the P-38 Lightning he was flying failed to recover from a rolling manoeuvre towards the end of the display on Sunday the 14th of July. As he began a second roll to port in a routine he had practised and polished, and had performed faultlessly on the previous day, the aircraft moved very slightly off axis.
The resulting barrel brought the aircraft too close to the ground for the pilot to recover completely, although it struck the ground with its wings beyond the horizontal. The aircraft exploded and broke up on impact, coming to rest amongst the parked civil aircraft on the southern perimeter of the airfield, well away from the crowd line.
Hoof was an exemplary pilot, extremely skilled in formation and aerobatic flying, and had been the driving force behind flying operations at The Fighter Collection since its inception. As Chief Pilot, his skills and dedication will be sorely missed by the Fighter Collection, but his great many friends will miss him for his cheer, wit and integrity, all of which he possessed in abundance. Hoof was unique. Our thoughts are with his family."
