Oshkosh has seen several crashes over the last few years. Last year a custom built Breezy aircraft was destroyed on landing. Sadly, the pilot of the Breezy succumbed to the injuries he sustained in the incident. In 2011, a USAF F-16 fighter overran the runway and was destroyed, although the pilot was unharmed. In 2010, NASCAR team owner Jack Roush was injured in his personal Hawker Beechcraft Premier IA business jet when he executed a last minute go-around without advancing the throttles.
