    I didn't see this and don't have exact details yet, but a Russian made, aerobatic stunt plane... an SU-26 (or 29) Sukhoi, crashed into the ocean near show central today. The plane was doing a flat-spin and was unable to recover. I'm told the plane flat landed (or pancaked as pilots call it). Not sure if the pilot survived, but it would be highly unlikely in this type of crash.

    Does anyone have any information on this?
