That's very sad. A young life snuffed out for no fault of hers.

@ 3deffect, that is a nice way of looking at things.

In life, she did things that most people can only dream of and she died doing what she loved best.

I envy her.

As I wrote in my original post, she did eject but was struck by the wing of another plane. The other pilot, a guy, survived.

The initial report said multiple planes were practicing close formation flying and the two-seater she was in collided with another plane.
