New Orleans TV journalist Nancy Parker and the pilot of a small stunt plane are dead after their aircraft went down in a field near Lakefront Airport in New Orleans.
WVUE-TV said the 53-year-old Parker, who has been a reporter and anchor at the television station for 23 years, was shooting a story in a stunt plane when the crash occurred.
A Federal Aviation Administration statement said the plane was a 1983 Pitts S-2B aircraft that crashed in an empty field about a half-mile south of the airport, which accommodates smaller aircraft, under unknown circumstances. That model aircraft is a biplane.
Parker leaves behind her husband, Glyn Boyd, and three children.
