If it's the one I've seen reported, that one's been a regular at the Reading airshow. Seen it many times. I'd heard conflicting reports about the pilot but the latest said he was seen struggling in the harness as the plane went down. They recovered his body late last night. Damned shame.

Looks like they managed to recover her more or less intact.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
