Pilot killed when plane crashes at Tennessee air show
ONEIDA, Tenn. -- A pilot was killed Saturday when his small plane crashed during an air show in northern Tennessee, CBS affiliate WVLT reports.
Witnesses told the station the crash occurred around 4:30 p.m. during the Wings Over Big South Fork Air Show at the Scott Municipal Airport in Oneida.
A family member confirmed to WVLT that Jay Gordon, a pilot from Louisville, Ky., died when his L-39 Albatross, a fixed wing, single-engine aircraft, went down.
Witnesses said they saw Gordon's plane take a dive to do a trick. It never came back up.
