But <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RHaerosports\/posts\/1239170710906001?ref=embed_post\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the statement<\/a> on Mr. Holland\u2019s Facebook page confirmed that it was him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A professional air show and aerobatic pilot for more than 20 years, Mr. Holland was a 13-time U.S. national aerobatic champion, a six-time world four-minute freestyle champion and the 2015 World Air Games freestyle gold medalist, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimateairshows.com\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">according to his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Holland had been planning to fly this weekend in Air Power Over Hampton Roads, an air show at Langley, according to the event\u2019s website. The show, which also features military jets such as the F-22 Raptor, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wtkr.com\/news\/langley-air-power-over-hampton-roads-attracts-over-25-thousand-in-first-year-back#:~:text=Langley's%20'Air%20Power%20Over%20Hampton,25%2C000%20in%20first%20year%20back&amp;text=HAMPTON%2C%20Va.,tens%20of%20thousands%20of%20spectators.\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">attracts thousands of spectators<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Langley confirmed a crash had occurred but did not immediately release further information.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An N.T.S.B. investigator was expected to arrive at Langley on Friday morning, the agency said. The investigator will begin the process of documenting the scene and examining the aircraft. The plane will then be moved to a secure facility for further evaluation, the board said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Holland\u2019s website says that he flew an MXS-RH aircraft, which it described as \u201ca one-of-a-kind, all-carbon-fiber masterpiece,\u201d designed to his specifications by the MX Aircraft Company in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Weighing a relatively light 1,200 pounds and powered by a 380-horsepower engine, the single-seat plane was capable of \u201cpulling 16 positive and negative G\u2019s, and rolls at nearly 500 degrees per second,\u201d the website says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Holland had a custom harness to keep him secure in the plane, the website says, and wore a helmet and a custom-built parachute for emergencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Videos of Mr. Holland\u2019s performances show him flying giant loops and tumbling and rolling in his plane, which appeared at times to stall in midair, all while releasing a trail of white smoke. The moves had names like Frisbee and double hammerhead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cOne of my goals is to take aerobatics to the next level,\u201d he was quoted as saying on his website. \u201cI want to push the limits of what can be done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">John Cudahy, the president and chief executive of the International Council of Air Shows, said in an interview on Thursday that Mr. Holland was \u201cvery well known in the whole industry and very well respected in the whole industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was not clear, he said, what caused his plane to crash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While he was known for daring flying maneuvers, Mr. Holland was an \u201cadvocate for air show safety and professionalism and doing things with practice \u2014 all the things you would expect of a professional pilot,\u201d Mr. Cudahy said. \u201cHe was sort of a poster boy for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jared Isaacman, a billionaire entrepreneur and private astronaut who has been <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/04\/science\/jared-isaacman-trump-nasa.html\" title=\"\">chosen by President Trump<\/a> to serve as the next NASA administrator, was among those mourning Mr. Holland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDeeply saddened to hear about the passing of Rob Holland \u2014 an airshow legend,\u201d he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rookisaacman\/status\/1915494091313603023\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">wrote on social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Holland has said he fell in love with aerial tricks as a boy, when he saw a plane flying upside down at an air show. From then on, he said, all his model planes hung upside down in his bedroom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He earned a pilot\u2019s license as a teenager and began flying aerobatics almost immediately, while also working as a corporate pilot, commuter pilot, flight instructor and ferry pilot, and operating his own aerobatic flight school, his website says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A 1997 graduate of Daniel Webster College in New Hampshire, where he studied aviation, he had logged more than 15,000 hours of flight time in more than 180 types of aircraft, according to his website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cRob was one of the most respected and inspiring aerobatic pilots in aviation history,\u201d the statement on his Facebook page said. \u201cEven with an absolutely impressive list of accomplishments, both in classical competition aerobatics and within the air show world, Rob was the most humble person with a singular goal to simply be better than he was yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
