On September 16, 2011, The Galloping Ghost, a highly modified North American P-51D Mustang racing aircraft, crashed into spectators while competing at the Reno Air Races, killing the pilot, James K.
"Jimmy" Leeward, and 10 people on the ground.
Sixty-nine more people on the ground were injured.
It was the third-deadliest airshow disaster in U.S.
history, following accidents in 1972 in Sacramento, California and 1951 in Flagler, Colorado.
