boyst Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 Apparently with the pitch and yaw of the roll he could not see the plane. Terrible flying, nonetheless. Tragic. Those were beautiful planes and the lives of those lost are irreplaceable Quote
Nextmanup Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 Holy *****! Looks like a P-51 cutting a B-17 in half! Looks like something from the War itself. Edit: It's a P-63 King Cobra slicing that B-17 in half. Holy cow; there goes millions of dollars in priceless war birds. Quote

People were killed and you're concerned about the loss of historic warplanes? Yikes...... 2 Quote

I have flown in three, two off the carrier and one shore based. The Blues and the Thunderbirds mission is public relations, and they are extremely prepared and extremely good. The point made to me as a young aviator is that you really can't do anything that is incredibly impressive, but you can easily screw up. I almost did that screws up thing when I flew the shore based one, being a young guy and trying to do something to "impress." Don't fly airshows and don't do interviews. Words to live by. 2 2 Quote
