Holy %^@, man ...that gives me a shiver just looking at it. Waste of 2 irreplaceable airplanes.

 

[Wolfy]

Don't forget there were people flying them.

All I have heard so far is the the pilot that lost his life was 51. The other was 24. They initially said a father/son, but that was not correct.

RIP

Try http://www.airventure.org/2006/news/060719_warbird.html and http://www.thunderoverreno.com . Here is what the planes looked like in April. Tragic loss of man and machine.

That was horrible
Terrible to see when ANY plane crashes :/

I heard one was killed and the other survived.

Horrible accident.

 

[Okie_Pilot]

Very sad indeed....

Sad loss of life, and the aircraft.

Pilatuspus- Do you have a better pic of your avatar?

Okay so what the hell happened? The guy on the right (rear) landed on top of the other airplane?

(I bet there is a thread about this . . .*sigh*)

RIP.

In a formation landing, the rear plane is supposed to touch-down first.. That didn't happen here and you see what happened...

"Precious Metal" is not the "real" Precious Metal, Gerry Beck built this A model from PLANS and it was painted like Precious Metal for filming the movie "Thunder over Reno".

Wow, tragic.

When I first saw the pictures I thought the one on the ground was the one in my avatar.

Airplanes are always replaceable. It's the people that aren't.

It looks like the P51D is salvagable.

Still though. Like previously mentioned, sad loss of life.
