Wicker died Saturday afternoon when her plane crashed at an air show near Dayton, Ohio Pilot confirmed dead: Wicker's pilot, Charlie Schwenker, also perished in the crash Mother: Wicker was the mother of two sons. She met her now ex-husband through flying and for a while he was her pilot until the marriage dissolved According to her website, Jane was a full-time budget-analyst at the FAA, a freelance writer and had recently returned to school to earn a degree in finance. She first got interested in aviation after taking a ride with a friend in 1988. After her first flying lesson she was hooked and continued to pay for all of her flying lessons until she received her pilot's certificate in 1989. Wicker went on to get her several other pilot's ratings, all while working full-time. Wing walker: Jane was in the middle of one of her wing walking performances when her plane crashed Air acrobat: Wicker mid-performance For a birthday present in 1989, she was gifted with an aerobatic plane ride. She loved it and a year later applied to be a wing walker after seeing a classified ad in the Washington Post. The first time she walked on a wing was also her first air show. Wicker met her now ex-husband Kirk Wicker at a wing-walking audition. Jane and Kirk joined up and they created 'Beauty and the Beast Wing Walking' together. She would walk on the wings while Kirk would fly the plane. When their marriage dissolved in 2002, Wicker took a break from wing walking. The couple had two sons, one of which - Ben Wicker - just recently graduated high school. She got back into wing walking in 2009 when she bought a new plane, Aurora, and re-entered the Airshow Circuit.
