James Kent "Jimmy" Leeward (October 21, 1936 – September 16, 2011) was an American air racer, owner of the Leeward Air Ranch in Ocala, Florida, and the pilot of the heavily modified North American P-51 Mustang racing aircraft, The Galloping Ghost.
He competed in air races in the United States from the 1970s until his death. In the 1970s he became a board member of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). Leeward died on September 16, 2011, when his aircraft went off course and crashed into the crowd at the National Championship Air Races at Reno Stead Airport, northwest of Reno, Nevada, killing at least three and injuring 58 spectators. Early eyewitness news accounts, as reported on CNN, said that it appeared Leeward knew he was going to crash and tried to avoid the grandstands.

Apart from being an experienced air racer, Jimmy Leeward also had several film credits as a stunt pilot, actor, crew and himself.

Tragedy: Plane crashes at airshow, pilot killed

MARTINSBURG - The pilot of an airplane was killed in a fiery crash Saturday afternoon while he was performing in the Thunder Over the Blue Ridge airshow at the Eastern Regional Airport.
"The aircraft was piloted by a single civilian pilot, who died as a result of the crash," West Virginia National Guard Adjutant Gen. James Hoyer read from a prepared statement during a news conference Saturday evening at the Army Guard Armory on Kelly Island Road.
"The plane was a T-28 aircraft with the Trojan Horse T-28 demonstration team, a civilian aerobatics group that tours the nation performing at airshows," Hoyer continued. "Pending confirmation of the notification of the next of kin through official channels, no identifying information will be released."
Hoyer would not say how old the pilot was nor his place of residence.
The airplane was registered to Jack Mangan of Cornelius, N.C. He is listed on the Trojan Horsemen's website as a member of the T-28 Warbird Aerobatic Formation Demo Team.
