Default CS Captain Killed at Reno Air Show

Erica Simpson Age 32 (a Captain for CS) was killed Sat. morning after the wing of her home made plane broke off while doing a roll at the Reno Air Show. I did not know her, but I have friends that did and she will be deeply missed.

Wow - that is tragic! Article says she flew the CJ1 - I didn't know CS continued to fly CJ1s? This is a good reminder to live every day to the fullest. RIP

The "Show" isn't until this weekend, BTW. The accident had nothing to do with the races themselves.
