Cognitive and survivorship bias came into play for this incident. "We've been doing airshows like this and never had a problem!" "It couldn't be his fault. He had 40k hours!" Ok. I saw a P63 collide with a B17. Compounding failures that probably started on the ground until the fateful...

No. A contact let me know on scene. Haven't heard anything since. Sounds like a P51 collided with it.

Looks like a mid air.

Lol, I know. She was ugly and beautiful at the same time.

You couldn't even try to get into the TR unless you had a step ladder

CZAR 52 replay pretty much.

Lol

Short story. I received a few hours of training from the brother of actress Jane Russell. He told me "pull back on the yoke and the trees get smaller, push forward and they get bigger". Funny how that stuck with me 40 years ago

They pulled up the plane in pieces. One wing shows leading edge compression damage. It went in vertical. My coworker lives along that beach and was watching the recovery barge.

Not sure about lately, but the HITRONS had a sniper rile and an M4 for interdiction efforts; disabling the engines. SAR birds do not carry that I know of. We carried 4 M870's with buckshot in the 80's and 90's for self defense (hit the deck, discharge DEA and defense forces) while I protected...

One of my worries doing drug interdiction in the wild days of the late 80's and early 90's in the Bahamas and other places.

I'm watching the other angles right now. It looks like a mechanical problem and he rode it in. Rip

Hook this guy up with the crazy boat lady in AK.

Looking at the graph, the aircraft was stepping up in altitude from ~600' to about 1000' in a few seconds just before a final climb and final descent. Possible strike into a flock of geese. Since we haven't heard about any radio calls, it might be possible there was a catastrophic break-up. Sad.

No offical update. It appears that he is down. Report of aircraft that went supersonic a while ago. Guessing ANG.

He's still going....

After watching the full videos, crazy lady needs to be behind bars.

I've flown in a hurricane, several gales in AK and FL. Storm of the Century in early 90's. Sparky mushroom clouds were avoided at all costs. It astounds me that this pilot felt he was smarter than the storms or invincible. My wife has to wake me up from a bad nightmare once in a while.
