Award-winning local Fox anchor, 53, is killed along with her pilot after stunt plane they were flying in for a story crashes near a New Orleans airport

A New Orleans TV journalist and the pilot of a small plane have been killed after their aircraft went down Friday in a field near a city airport.  WVUE-TV confirms that Nancy Parker, a reporter and anchor at the television station for 23 years, was killed in the crash near Lakefront Airport, which accommodates smaller aircraft.  The station said the 53-year-old journalist was shooting a story in a stunt plane when it crashed. Veteran stunt pilot Franklin J.P. Augustus was also killed.   Fox 8 anchor Lee Zurik choked back tears as he announced Parker's death on air and said his colleague was on the plane 'doing what she loved, telling a story'. Source
