Jane Wicker, a 44-year-old professional stuntwoman, and Charlie Schwenker, a 64-year-old pilot, died in a fiery plane crash captured on video at a southwestern Ohio air show in front of thousands of onlookers over the weekend.
The two were killed instantly when their 50 HP Stearman airplane crashed and erupted in flames Saturday afternoon at the Vectren Air Show in Dayton, Ohio. Wicker, a mother of two, was on one of the plane's wings when it suddenly turned and slammed into the ground before exploding into flames, reports CBS News.
Recently engaged, Wicker had planned to marry her daredevil fiance Rock Skowbo aboard the plane in 2014, with Schwenker as their officiant, according to the NY Daily News.
"It is with sad hearts that we announce that Jane Wicker and Charlie Schwenker were tragically killed while performing at the Vectren Dayton Airshow," stated a post on Jane Wicker's Airshow Facebook page. "We ask for your prayers ... and privacy of all involved and allow them time to grieve."
The NTSB has not yet released a cause for the crash and said an investigation could take months.
The Vectren Dayton Air Show in Ohio reopened this afternoon with a moment of silence for the wing walker and her pilot.
"The thing is if you would ask virtually any of the air show pilots if something happened to them during an air show what they would want to have done, they would tell you they would want to have the show go on because that's what they live for and that's what they really love," Andy Stanley, a search and rescue pilot, told ABC News' Ohio affiliate WKEF-TV.
