Should Air Show Continue Sunday? Spectators Weigh In

VANDALIA -- A wing-woman and her pilot are dead after a fiery crash at the Dayton Air Show Saturday.

Organizers cancelled the remainder of the show Saturday but determined it will continue on Sunday.

We asked spectators if it would be more fitting to cancel the air show altogether.

"It's just terrible to come to something like this and have something like that happen," said Jason Hargraves.

The Hargraves are just grateful their children weren't watching when the plane went down.  But like a lot of people, they don't object to the show resuming tomorrow -- and they may come back tomorrow.

"We know when you come to things like this it's always a possibility," said Shannon Hargraves, "It's a terrible thing if it happened but you know there's still a lot of stuff for the kids to see and kids to do so that's why we like to come."

Andy Stanley's a search and rescue pilot -- and he knows a lot of the flyers who perform. 

"The thing is if you would ask virtually any of the Air Show pilots if something happened to them during an air show what they would want to have done," said Andy Stanley, "They would tell you they would want to have the show go on because that's what they live for and that's what they really love.
