Re: Kent Pietsch injured in crash
Really bad news indeed. His performance is the only one I never get tired of watching. The other aerobatic acts, as awesome as they are, just dont have the appeal for me. There is something about his shows that brings back some of the old barnstormer shows of yester year. At least for me they do.

Kent Pietsch Hurt In Alberta Crash
Veteran air show performer Kent Pietsch is in hospital in Alberta, Canada after crashing his Interstate Cadet shortly after a performance Saturday in Wetaskiwin, a small city about 70 miles south of Edmonton. Pietsch is not thought to have suffered life-threatening injuries. He got out of the plane himself and was lying nearby when crash crews arrived at the scene moments later. The aircraft may be a writeoff, however. According to the latest report in the Edmonton Journal, Pietsch was finished with his comic routine when he clipped a wing during what might have been a low-level pass.
