Bob Odegaard, the famous pilot and owner of Super Corsair #74, was killed when his aircraft crashed during a practice session for the Barnes County Airshow, near Fargo, North Dakota, USA. The meeting has been cancelled but the organizers.

It seems, based on eyewitnesses’ reports, that the aircraft went into a barrel roll after takeoff and crashed, killing its pilot. Other aircraft on the ground were hit in the crash.

Bob Odegaard was a member of the Commemorative Air Force.
