The Tribune photo, dated August 2, 1978, has the following caption on the back: "Sunday's air show at Livermore gave the spectators even more than was promised. Grace (the Ace) Page hit a car she was supposed to miss and knocked a wheel off her plane, but no one was hurt in her first ever accident. Meanwhile, shown in aerobatics, is Lafayette business executive John Piggott, who likes to stunt airplanes weekends to "clear the cobwebs." Free fall parachutists [not shown] came in for precision landing. Glider (left) smoke trailing from wingtip "pots" prepares to loop.
