There has been another airshow tragedy in the US, with the pilot of a vintage plane dying in a crash in West Virginia. The tragedy comes less than 24 hours after a plane hit spectators at the Reno Air Races in Nevada with the loss of nine lives. ­The latest tragedy involved the pilot of a single-engine T-28 plane who died after his plane crashed onto the runway and burst into flames during a performance at Martinsburg`s air show on Saturday. The spectators, who were at a safe distance from the runway and hangers, were unharmed. The crash occurred during a stunt where two T-28s were flying belly-to-belly, local media reported. The remainder of the show has been cancelled. The doomed plane was built in 1958 and was a part of the Trojan Horsemen T-28 Warbird Aerobatic Formation Demonstration Team. The pilot`s name has not yet been released, but according to the Associated Press the plane was registered to Jack Mangan from Concord, North Carolina. According to the team`s website, Jack "Flash" Mangan was part of the alternative wing. He had spent over 2,500 hours in the F-15 and F-4 aircraft while serving duty as an Air Force fighter pilot for 13 years. He had over 4,000 hours of flight experience and held an Airline Transport Pilot and sailplane rating. ­ Two of the injured who were taken to hospital after Friday`s crash at an air race event in Reno have died, bringing the total number of victims to nine. Another eight people are reported to be in a critical condition. Seven people, including the pilot, were killed immediately upon impact, as the WWII-era P-51 Mustang fighter plane spiralled out of control and came down into crowds in the stands. Out of 56 people hurt, 10 were sent to hospital in a critical condition. Further races were cancelled pending an investigation by the National Transport Safety Board. For now it is still unknown why a respected 74-year-old veteran racing and stunt pilot, Jimmy Leeward, lost control of his plane. However, the investigators spotted damage to the plane’s tail fin in a picture that was taken shortly before the tragedy. ­Body count of Reno Air Races ­The National Championship Air Races, also known as the Reno Air Races, attract thousands of people to the state of Nevada every September to watch a range of military and civilian planes vie for supremacy. Unfortunately, pilots often pay with their lives for the thrill they bring to their audiences. But up until Friday`s tragedy, there had been no victims amongst spectators in the show`s 47-year history. Jimmy Leeward became the 20th pilot to die in a crash at Reno. Previous tragedies at Reno included accidents in 2007 - 2008, when four pilots died in two sequential crashes. In 1999, a pilot died when his Mustang plane fell apart in midair, causing some damage to a house in the suburbs. Two more pilots died in crashes in 1998. One of them lost control of his plane after a heart attack, while another crashed due to an engine malfunction.
