World Press
Glenn A. Smith was flying a Soviet-era retired military jet in the Quad-City Air Show in Davenport when the crash occurred, the Quad-City Times reported . The jet was flying in formation with other members of the HopperFlight jet team when it failed to pull out of a 45-degree bank and crashed into a field.
Nobody on the ground was hurt, but crowds watching the show saw the plane go down and erupt in flames.
Schaeffer estimated parts of the plane were strewn over an area up to 220 metres. Schaeffer said he had no information about what may have caused the crash.
Smith was CEO of the Warbird Educational Foundation that owned the Soviet-era jet he was flying.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
