RIP....

Man, bummer..

flyinawa · July 30th, 2007, 19:45

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

Wolfy · July 30th, 2007, 19:48

Don't forget there were people flying them.

ComplexHiAv8r · July 30th, 2007, 22:15

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.

Crockrocket94 · July 31st, 2007, 13:11

That was horrible

Terrible to see when ANY plane crashes :/

I heard one was killed and the other survived.

Horrible accident.

Okie_Pilot · July 31st, 2007, 14:21

Very sad indeed....

Sad loss of life, and the aircraft.

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

surreal1221 · July 31st, 2007, 14:50

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.

Tram · July 31st, 2007, 17:12

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.

Crockrocket94 · August 4th, 2007, 17:22

It looks like the P51D is salvagable.

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

Actually, in a perfect formation landing, both aircraft touch down at exactly the same time. It just usually doesn't work out that way!

Well, to be technically correct, the Buccarelli Griffon-powered Precious Metal isn't the "real" Precious Metal either!

Cruise · August 5th, 2007, 02:35

Very sad, indeed!

Yeh, you are right.. The lead just usually gives the wing a pretty good cushion.. It doesn't look like that happened in the video's..
