Pilot killed on eve of Ottawa airshow
Graham Hughes, Ottawa Citizen
Published: Friday, June 16, 2006
One of the aircraft to be featured in Airshow Ottawa crashed shortly after noon Friday, killing its pilot.
The Stinger, a BD-5-J aircraft that was featured in the James Bond movie Octopussy, crashed on landing at the Carp Airport at 12:14. It was one of six such aircraft in the world.
The Toronto-based aircraft was built and usually flown by Scott Manning, a former professional football player with the Montreal Alouettes and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. It was not immediately known whether Mr. Manning was flying the aircraft when it crashed.
The BD-5 is an experimental, homebuilt, single-seat high-performance aircraft that first flew more than 30 years ago. It is less than three metres long, has a five-metre wingspan and weighs only 220 kilograms. This makes Stinger world's smallest jet according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
The plane is capable of about 500 kilometres an hour.
The plane, which is taken to airshows by trailer, was on a test flight after being assembled late Friday morning.

Pilot killed in Ottawa jet crash
Last Updated Fri, 16 Jun 2006 17:10:19 EDT

A former Canadian Football League player from Toronto was killed Friday when his small, home-built airplane crashed at an airport west of Ottawa.
Scott Manning in the BD-5. (Microjet Canada) Scott Manning died when his BD-5J jet, nicknamed "Stinger," hit the ground at the Carp Airport at 12:14 p.m.
Manning had been scheduled to perform in the single-seat airplane at Air Show Ottawa this weekend.
Eyewitness David Morgan-Kirby was standing at the end of the runway watching the microjet when it crashed.
"He was just doing a sort of pre-air-show display," Morgan-Kirby said.
"The engine was still running when he hit the ground, and it ran for another two or three seconds afterwards."
The BD-5 is often described as the world's smallest jet. The one flown by Manning was one of just six BD-5s in the world.
BD-5s have been used for secret radar testing for the U. S. government, and one was featured in the James Bond film Octopussy.
Manning, who lived in Toronto, played football for the Montreal Alouettes and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
At 6' 3" and 215 pounds, he was known as the world's tallest BD-5 pilot.
Manning held a commercial pilot's licence and had flown numerous types of airplanes, including some of the most advanced aerobatic aircraft.
Whitney Zelmer, a spokesman for Air Show Ottawa, confirmed that Manning was the pilot killed in Friday's crash.
Zelmer said the air show would go ahead as planned on Saturday.

C'était lui....
Condoleances aux proches, dommage il ne reste plus que 5 BD-5 en vol....
