  • July 22 – Aerobatic pilot Randy Harris and passenger Dale Shillington were killed when their Skybolt Biplane lost control and crashed in a field near Vance AFB in Oklahoma.[82]
  • July 17 – A T-28 biplane crashed before crowds of spectators at the Cold Lake Air Show in Alberta, Canada, killing the pilot, Bruce Evans, upon impact.[83] At the time of the accident, the plane was performing a series of maneuvers when the pilot deviated from his planned performance. The aircraft began a low-altitude roll, where it began to fall, dropping over 500 feet and hitting the ground at high velocity.[84] An investigation after the accident could not find pilot error or mechanical issues to attribute to the crash.[85]
  • July 13 – Skydiver Jeffrey Antonich was seriously injured when he experienced a hard landing while performing during a privately held airshow in front of an estimated 1,000 spectators.[86] Antonich hit the ground at roughly 40–50 miles per hour at the Mesmer Family Block Party in Grand Island, New York.[87]

Jeff "Kooch" Kuss of the Blue Angels died just after takeoff while performing the Split-S maneuver in his F/A-18 Hornet during a practice run for The Great Tennessee Air Show in Smyrna, Tennessee. Capt. Kuss ejected, but his parachute was immediately engulfed in flames, causing him to fall to his death. Kuss' body was recovered multiple yards away from the crash site. The Navy investigation found that Capt. Kuss performed the maneuver at too low of an altitude while failing to retard the throttle out of afterburner, causing him to fall too fast and recover at too low of an altitude. The investigation also found weather conditions and pilot fatigue as contributing causes to the crash.The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.[92]
  • May 28 – Pilot Bill Gordon died after crash landing P-47 Thunderbolt "Jacky's Revenge" into the Hudson River while attempting an emergency landing.[93][94] The plane was participating in a photo flight near the Statue of Liberty to promote the Jones Beach airshow taking place the following day.[95][96]
