Display pilot fataly injured at Dayton.

Dayton, Ohio – The Vectren Dayton Air Show Presented by Kroger will continue flying as planned on Sunday, July 29 after the fatal accident of veteran pilot Jim LeRoy on Saturday. The Vectren Dayton Air Show team expresses its condolences to the LeRoy family.

Show organizers have announced anyone that has a Saturday ticket stub or wristband may re-enter the show grounds on Sunday in the General Admission area. This will permit those patrons who were unable to see the US Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration to attend.

An accident investigation is underway, and Dayton International Airport Fire Chief, Mark Carpenter, is heading this investigation.
