The funeral for a popular air show pilot who died in a plane crash over the weekend will be held Monday at the Fargo Air Museum.

Jim “Fang” Maroney died Sunday when he crashed his plane into the side of a mountain south of Knoxville, Tenn., in the Cherokee National Forest.

It took crews some time to recover his body, but it has been retrieved and it will be sent to Fargo on Friday, said Dick Walstad, co-chairman of the Fargo AirSho.

The funeral will be 2 p.m. at the Fargo Air Museum, 1609 19th Ave. N., Walstad said.
