A plane crashed Friday during practice for the New York Air Show this weekend, killing the pilot.
It happened at about 2 p.m. near Stewart International Airport in New Windsor in Orange County. Airshow enthusiasts were recording from every possible angle as the small, lightweight experimental plane spiraled through the sky over Stewart International Airport. It was a breathtaking performance until something went wrong. The plane suddenly shot up and then stalled and dropped from the sky. "During one of the maneuvers the tail section actually came apart from the plane and it disintegrated and you could see the tail coming down," said Jim West, of ClassicWarBirds.net. Still pictures showed the G-202 prop plane just before, and immediately after the tail fell off.
