Sad News from the Air Show
Thanks to those of you who sent me information on the pilot. The pilot's name was Don Hinz and he was on the board of the Red Tail Project. A project dedicated to preserving the history of African Americans who served during WWII.
The following is a link to a StarTribune article that reports what happened at the air show.

Today I read that the son of Hinz, the pilot who died in last year's Tuskeegee Airmen's air show, was confirmed dead in Iraq. He was only 30 years old, grew up in Woodbury. It's a sad for their family. My condolences.
