Quote:In New Mexico, a single-engine plane whizzed upwards before twirling upside down in a dazzling display of showmanship. As the plane leveled out, something went wrong. It somersaulted out of control before taking a deadly nosedive. On board was famous pilot Chuck Coleman, who helped train the cast of the blockbuster film "Top Gun: Maverick," starring Tom Cruise. Rescuers raced to the scene, but it was too late.

Very sad indeed.

When I saw this I thought of my son and daughter who are in Houston this day at the big airshow there.

Kind regards
