[ARC5] Commem. Air Force B-17, P-63 Mid-air Collision, All lives and Aircraft Lost.

[1oldlens1]

Does anyone one here now if there will be an NTSB Investigstion? Not sure about air show accidents.  Various video posted on news sites is confusing but it does look like the Fighter made a long sweep into the B-17.  Hard to tell from that cell phone video.Sent from my Galaxy

From what little I could see, he flew straight into the B-17, cutting it in two a little way after the wing. It didn't appear to me as though he even tried to miss. I'll bet that if it is possible to do an autopsy on his remains, it will be found he was either dead or unconcious betore he hit the B-17.Even so, this makes me literally sick.In addition to the 5 or even 6 dead pilots, from what little I have learned so far, the P-63 was the last remaining flyable example. Now there are none.Prayers for the dead and their families.Ken______________________________________________________________ARC5 mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/arc5Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:ARC5 at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: https://www.qsl.net/donate.html
