Chandy Clanton Death Photo : Stunt Pilot And Aerobatics Flyer Killed

In an unfortunate incident on Friday, stunt pilot Chandy Clanton was killed in an air crash. While her Edge 540 was ahead of the Wingnuts Flying Circus in Tarkio, Montanna, the mishap occurred. She was scheduled to fly at AirVenture this year. She was 36 years old; her death is indeed a great loss for the aviation enthusiasts.


Her website describes Clanton as follows:

Chandy is a three-time member of the United States Unlimited Aerobatic Team. She flew at the 2003 World Championships in Lakeland, Florida, where she was the youngest female pilot. Chandy won the Programme Q flight at the 2007 Championships in Granada, Spain.

Chandy was the only woman named to the 2003 “Stars of Tomorrow” program and has performed before hundreds of thousands of spectators at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh; she was the only “Stars” performer invited back for the 2004 and 2005 shows.

You can see her on many TV news broadcasts and The Weather Channel, as well as Discovery Wings programs that highlight the best pilots in the aerobatic world.

But her talent does not end here. She had been the President of a major bank, namely the Bank Iowa Corporation which has branches in almost 21 locations all over. Known as a brilliant aviator, she was a supporter of Mission Central for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

To aspiring aviators she will remain as a great source of inspiration.
