Wing walker Jane Wicker and her pilot, Charlie Schwenker, were killed tragically today at an air show in Dayton, Ohio, when a stunt went terribly wrong. Stunned witnesses captured the horror of the moment on video, but Wicker’s Twitter feed paints a much happier picture of a woman eager to entertain no matter the risk.

In Dayton ready to rock this town. Had a great drive. Must get to bed if I want to be fresh for those 6:40am and 7:10 am interviews

Wicker was recently grounded with an injury unrelated to her act, and the Dayton show was one of her first following her recovery.

Had accident resulting in lung and spleen injuries. Will be ok but grounded for a couple weeks. Aurora will still be in Waterloo with sub.

Many have asked and I had to confirm that injuries are not the result of an aviation accident or with the wing walking.

Momma's girl loves to ride shot gun. Feels good to be out and about again. Still sore but healing quickly. pic.twitter.com/1BiNJM0aUK
