Stunt Pilot Falls From Aircraft At Selfridge Air Show
DETROIT (WWJ) - An accident at the Selfridge Air Base this afternoon sends a stunt pilot to the hospital.
Officials say wing walker Todd Green with the Third Strike Wing Walker unit fell 200 feet to the ground during a stunt.
Brad Bianchi was there and witnessed the entire thing.
"They were doing an aerial maneuver, where the small helicopter would pull a guy in the back seat of a bi-plane out of the cockpit and put him on the wing of a plane, to basically stand there while the plane did a bunch of advanced maneuvers, on the second pass ... the guy grabbed on to the skid of the helicopter and lost balance and fell off," said Bianchi.
Bianchi says at first he wasn't sure if the fall was part of the stunt...But realized soon after that it was an accident.
No word on Green's condition.
