This is the moment a plane crashed , killing the pilot, whilst performing an aerial acrobat
stunt at an air show .
The crash happened during the Good Neighbour Day Airshow at de kalb- peachtree airport
12 miles northeast of Atlanta, Georgia.
The pilot can be seen flying a biplane and performing stunts in tandem with another plane
when one of the planes rises high into the air in what appears to be a loop before descending
and appearing to lose control.
The incident was witnessed by a large crowd but no spectators or personnel were hurt in
the crash according to officials.
Authorities said the weather was clear at the time of the crash, and the cause is unclear.
The National Transportation Safety Board will be investigating the crash.
The county said in a statement that the crash was the first accident in the 30 years that
the Good Neighbour Day Air Show has been held.
The pilot will not be identified until next of kin is notified.
Flags at the airport were flown at half-staff Saturday to honour the pilot who died.
