Yesterday I posted pictures of unlimited air racers at Oshkosh. Today
they had another race, but as the planes were landing, the two Mustangs I posted pictures of (Precious Metal--green-winged-- and Stang-blue and yellow) yesterday got into it as they were landing. I didn't witness the accident, but it was not far from the approach end of 36. Witnesses told me that Precious Metal ran into Stang, and Stang went over on its nose and slid down and then off the runway. Meanwhile, Precious Metal flipped over and there was an explosion and fire lasting about 30 seconds. It seems Precious Metal's pilot is dead (the owner is listed as Ron Buccarelli, but I don't know if he was the pilot), but witnesses saw the other pilot running from Stang and the TV news said he had non-serious injuries (Stang is owned by Bob Odegaard, but someone said his son was flying Stang while Bob was in his Super Corsair). The warbird show was cancelled for the day, but oddly enough, the person in charge of the pyro said it had to be exploded today and they were talking about doing it at the end of the truncated airshow. I don't know if the Raptors flew--I was too depressed and just left. Anyway, yEnc'ed pictures to follow. |
