April 26th update by the Reno Air Racing Association:
We are sorry to report that Jet Class racer Dianna Stanger was in an accident last week involving her Aero Vodochody L139 Albatros Darkstar.
Dianna and her passenger were seriously injured when their aircraft crashed Wednesday at about 6:30 PM local time in a field in Wise County, Texas. We are encouraged that Dianna is awake and in stable condition at the hospital.
