Death at Oshkosh, sad to report
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. |

I don't think you are correct in the ID of the second, fatal, aircraft and
pilot. It is best not to post names, etc. in public newsgroups until the details are certain. You may have caused grief for those not injured by your post. I know a number of the folks involved, including Ron, who I don't think was involved in any way, from what I'm getting. I'm a warbird pilot, too, and many of these folks are friends or aquaintances..

Randy I have a picture of the wrecked Precious Metal, so I'm certainly right about the plane (although I won't upload the picture--too ghoulish). Moreover, if you'll go to the local paper's website (thenorthwestern.com), you'll see and hear eyewitness accounts of the crash, including one that describes how Precious Metal and Stang collided. Now I specifically said I didn't know who was piloting Precious Metal--I merely identified the owner, which is public knowledge. The news media have still not ID'ed the dead pilot, and I wouldn't be so irresponsible as to say who was piloting a plane without having some reliable source. So get off my case.

The "Precious Metal" involved was the new build P-51A not the Griffon
powered Reno Racer. Thoughts and prayers to all involved! "Randy Wilson" wrote in message ... I don't think you are correct in the ID of the second, fatal, aircraft and pilot.

I thanked you for the picture you posted for me. I'll even thank you again.
BUT that doesn't change the fact that a lot of us can't see the pictures you and some others are flooding this NG with yEnc posts. You aren't necessarily doing anyone one any favours buy posting so much at a time that half of yours don't get through and other good stuff is dropped of to make room for you gibberish.. Because the ISPs or whoever host this NG don't seem to allot much space to this NG, one would think that just maybe, the smarter posters would limit their postings so that everyone else's posted pictures stay up a little longer so everyone gets a chance to see them. Posting eYnc seems to be a licence to flood the place with junk.. If people had to resize , name and send pictures individually, I'm sure they would be a lot more selective.

Correct, if yEnc was the ultimate format, Glenn Alderton would use it, but he is not, his hi quality pictures are between 200 and 300 Kb large, he is also not cutting his pictures in 10 pieces so we have to combine them, and he is using the appropriate jpg format, not a bmp or tif format ets...
