President of the International Aerobatic Club and airshow pilot Vicki Cruse died on Saturday, August 22, 2009 at the age of 40. Vicki Cruse died after she lost control of her Zivko Edge 540 which nosedived into the ground. She was at an altitude that prevented her from bailing out from the aircraft. Vicki Cruse was the president of the International Aerobatic Club since 2005 and was re-elected at AirVenture Oshkosh 2009. Adam Badger wishes his deepest condolences to the Cruse family.
