Army 275 called M.V.H enroute, 40 yr old patient, 60-70% burns, chest injuries. ETA 3 mins.
2 mins later Army 275 contacted the Valley and advised T.O.D. 1505

Channel 7 just reported that it was a bi-plane involved in a stunt
with another when its tail hit the ground and apparently rolled over
onto the ground. The other bi-plane landed safely. They have reported that
because of this incident the USAF Thunderbirds will not be performing today.
The pilot was taken to a local hospital, no word yet on his condition.
There will be a press conference shortly.

The biplane was a S2s Bulldog.
Sad to report that Jim LeRoy with Bulldog Productions died enroute
to Miami Valley Hospital. The show was suspended for the remainder
of Saturday, but will resume normal operations for Sunday.

Crash
Just got home from the Airshow. We were watching the bi-planes. They had just taken off, got a short bit apart in a climb, then turned to each other and passed with smoke on. After that they went into a loop. We were unable to see the impact itself, but a bystander said it appeared the plane in question didnt have the altitude needed to pull out of the loop. He hit the ground near the intersection of Runway 24R and Taxiway Mike. A fire ensued.
Things got pretty crazy on the scanners right after that, as you can all imagine. There seemed to be a bit of a delay getting the Crash Equipment and EMS out. On-scene personnel stated the pilot was DOA on scene, but medics began working him. They called a Medic to the scene and 20 minutes or so passed. Someone said on the radio that the Medic Crew was going to load and go and I wondered why they hadnt called for a helicopter.
An Army Blackhawk was on the flightline for EMS. They launched the it over to the scene, with a Physician on board. After a few minutes on the ground they departed south for MVH. Youve seen the earlier post regarding the in flight report. Army 235 radioed back in a short time later and advised MVH that the Physician on board pronounced the pilot dead as they were on final to land at the hospital.
Ohio State Highway Patrol is on scene investigating. The remainder of today's show was cancelled.
I had heard Army 235 practicing Thursday from Wright Patt to MVH's south pad. Their training time paid off, as they moved swiftly and efficiently to MVH without confusion. Careflight Dispatchers at MVH get kudos for being on the ball when it came to encoding Army 235 into MVH's ER radio system. Zero delay in answering them and decoding them. They handled that critical communication with perfection.

They had a doctor on scene fairly quickly, and also requested CareFlight within a few minutes of the crash... With all the traffic you may have missed that. Hard to listen to everything with the airport being on CoD's system and the country response on the other!
Are you saying the Blackhawk was already on standby, or did that come from the 'show' side of the fence?
What freq did you hear 235 on?

ScanMiamiValley has a feed archive with related incident audio:
http://www.scanmiamivalley.com/modules.php?name=FeedArchive
7 minutes into the "Audio recorded on 07/28/2007 from 02:30 pm - 02:45 pm" on the Dayton/Montgomery feed is the beginning of incident audio related to the Dayton Airshow plane crash from earlier today.
Similiar incident audio starts at the same time the North Miami Valley feed. 9 minutes into the "Audio recorded on 07/28/2007 from 02:53 pm - 03:09 pm" the Army Rescue helicopter "Medevac 875" starts talking with Care Flight Control / Miami Valley Hospital. I would beleive the medical report would have been on the 155.2800 MHz frequency.

rdale, youre right, I hadnt heard Careflight get paged out. I had a few scanners running while I was standing outside my van in a parking lot. I was mainly listening to Dayton's TRS, between Police/Fire and Field Maintenance 1. I also had Air Show Control on another scanner.
I monitor Careflight more than anything else, but the Air Show bumps them off the main scan menu for the afternoon I go up every year. After hearing 875 (which sure sounded like 235!) practice Thursday, it seemed they were prepared for field emergencies at the show. It appeared to me as if they were parked on the flight line. When they lifted and I saw them raise up behind the terminal building, they werent back in the "show" area.
Jpryor you are correct. 875 did report into MVH on 155.280.

The feeds did pick up some, but I would estimate only about 5% of what actually was over the air. I was talking with BigJimbo on the cell during the incident and could hear most of the traffic from his scanners. The feeds didnt pick up half of the Tx from "875" (which sounded like 275 over the phone) to MVH.
