It's sad to see this happen, I watched him preform the day before, I remember him standing on the airplane as they taxied out, he had a big smile on his face and he was waving to everyone.
Sad news indeed.
With the death of yet another wing walker, I would not be surprised if the FAA has a knee-jerk reaction and bans the practice.

this was a harsh weekend in aviation .. 2 airshow accidents, a midair in NJ and the Resolute Bay 737 crash with a few survivors.
There's nothing routine about flying. but I can't live without it.

Was at the airshow and saw it as it happened, very tragic. R.I.P. and prayers for the family
I had the privlage of watching Todd preform at the Quad City Airshow back in June. I took a picture of him on the Stearman, and it was selected as a Staff Pick! http://flightaware.com/photos/view/314566-14ea9bc545e501b2411ca9be511416328cb973fb/user/jcisuclones/sort/votes/page/1 RIP Todd!
Prayers go out to his family. Though, i have no idea why this [wing walking] is even allowed...
