Kyle Franklin just posted on Facebook that Steve O'Berg has crashed at the Cameron Airshow, he was flying his Pitts when the engine lost power during a low level maneuver. Nothing is known about his condition yet.

It really does seem like air show crashes happen more frequently these days or is it that we just hear more about them thanks to the Internet?

I kind of hold my breath every summer since Kyle lost his wife Amanda, and every Summer there has been at least one or two who don't make it through the season. And I have quite a few of these guys on my Facebook. [edit[ saw the video he was in a slow spin which looked liked it started inverted, then went positive, the engine was sputtering ..and he never recovered the spin. Sad, with no power he couldn't get enough airspeed to pull it out.

Kyle Franklin just posted on Facebook that Steve O'Berg has crashed at the Cameron Airshow, he was flying his Pitts when the engine lost power during a low level maneuver. Nothing is known about his condition yet. The engine did not lose power. It was a shoulder roll taken one turn too far with recovery started too low. What you are hearing is the norma prop governor cycling with speed plus a small bit of sound distance delay.

I was taking what I heard from a news report as the cause and applying it to the video, thanks for the clarification. all it takes is a split second.
