RENO, NEVADA -- In the wake of the crash at a Reno air show that killed nine people Friday, it turns out astronaut Mark Kelly was supposed to fly in that very air show on Saturday. But the crash caused the rest of the event to be canceled.

Kelly is the husband of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who is recovering after an assassination attempt in January.

Kelly was supposed to fly in a vintage World War II aircraft similar to the one that crashed. The commander of the final space shuttle Endeavor mission was in Reno as a guest of the Breitling watch company. The Navy captain was not at the event Friday.
