Veteran stunt pilot Art Scholl was killed Monday while filming an aerobatic sequence for the film, "Top Gun." His biplane crashed into the ocean off San Diego while performing an inverted flat spin. The Coast Guard today called off the search for the pilot. -- Jan Wolitzky, AT&T Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ; 201 582-2998; alice!wolit (Affiliation given for identification purposes only)

Can someone give a reference and more detail? Was he flying an unfamiliar airplane? Was the inverted spin intentional, or was it the tail end of a Lomcevak?

Is there some law of nature that says that pilots can't die of
old age?
