Patty Wagstaff, the airshow performer, was clipping a ribbon suspended over the runway while flying inverted. There was a bobble and the bi-plane touched down and skidded, sparks flying, down the runway. As Patty crawled out of the wreck, a reporter ran up with camera and microphone.
The reporter asked, "What were you thinking as you skidded down the runway upside down?"
Patty answered, "I envisioned a blankety blank reporter on TV saying 'at least she died doing what she loved.' That's not what this is all about!"
