Plane crash nola east (Fox 8 News anchor Nancy Parker killed in the crash...RIP)

Apparently the plane was a Pitts.
If it was the Pitts S-2 that Augustus used to perform his stunt shows, then the reporters really got some poor information early on. A high performance biplane is a completely different animal. Low altitude engine loss is a lot more critical in such an aircraft and could have been responsible for what happened yesterday.
