He performed at the 2005 Indianapolis Air Show. http://www.daytondailynews.com/e/content/oh/story/news/local/2007/07/28/ddn072807crashweb.html (http://www.daytondailynews.com/e/content/oh/story/news/local/2007/07/28/ddn072807crashweb.html) Title: Re: 2007 Dayton Air Show, July 28-29 - Featuring USAF Thunderbirds Post by: ILv2Xlr8 on August 07, 2007, 10:16:31 PM Not a good weekend for airshows. A couple of beautiful P51s collided as they were attempting to land in formation at Oshkosh. Unfortunately, one pilot lost his life.
Here is the unique story about the one of a kind built from scratch P51A aircraft and its pilot: http://www.thenorthwestern.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=U0&Date=20070727&Category=&ArtNo=708050405&Ref=AR&Params=Itemnr=0 (http://www.thenorthwestern.com/apps/pbcs.dll/gallery?Site=U0&Date=20070727&Category=&ArtNo=708050405&Ref=AR&Params=Itemnr=0) and here is the tragic report about the crash: http://www.aero-tv.net/index.cfm?videoid=00b0d640-e714-4b79-b17b-6f3b0f149c4 (http://www.aero-tv.net/index.cfm?videoid=00b0d640-e714-4b79-b17b-6f3b0f149c4) |
