Travel photographer Amanda Gallagher dies in a horrific accident when she reverses into the plane’s propeller

A professional photographer was killed in a horrific accident when he backed into an airplane propeller while taking photos at an airport in Kanas.

Amanda Gallagher, 37, was taking photos of people getting on and off planes at the Air Capital Drop Zone in suburban Wichita on Saturday afternoon when she accidentally backed into the active propeller, KAKE News reported.

The avid skydiver was taken to a local hospital in extremely critical condition but died from her injuries, the outlet reported.

Gallagher had a photography business, AG Photography, where she showed photos from her travels and photos she took at the Air Capital Drop Zone in Derby, Wichita’s largest suburb.

She died “doing what she loved: skydiving and taking photos,” according to a fundraiser that had raised more than $6,000 as of Monday morning.

Her family remembered her at the fundraiser as “kind, adventurous, creative and beautiful inside and out.”

Cook Airfield extended its condolences to Gallagher’s family in a statement shared on Facebook.

“Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of the young lady who died yesterday following a tragic aircraft propeller accident at Cook Airfield,” the statement said.

The author added: “I wasn’t there when it happened, so I won’t speculate on what could or should have happened differently. Please keep her family, her friends and her Air Capital Drop Zone family in your prayers and thoughts.

The incident is still under investigation.
