Photos of Oshkosh crash in progress

I do not like the idea of re-posting them here, but if you want to see
photos of the Mustangs tangling at Oshkosh, go here
http://www.thenorthwestern.com/apps/...707280376/1987
and click on Fatal Warbird Crash under Multimedia Photo Galleries on
the right side and down a bit. The pictures provide some support for
eyewitness descriptions: Precious Metal's propeller got into the tail
of Stang, shoving Stang onto its nose, while Precious metal flipped
over and exploded. The two were attempting to land in formation.

I would like to know more about the pilots. Often people with enough money
to own a plane like this don't have enough time to fly to get and stay
proficient..

You will find that both pilots were very proficient, and flew together a
lot. They were very good friends and were in a movie made a few months
back... Thunder Over Reno. (Not out yet)

Thanks, eye witnesses are at best unreliable. It will be interesting to
see video assuming the NTSB allows it to be released in our lifetime. Of
course if the lawyers get involved you can forget about seeing it. I
appears that the rear pilot (Beck) would have been at fault if there wasn't
anything else that hasn't come to light.

Sorry to destroy your little conspiracy theory.

If you know more about the pilot, particularly the one that was trailing, I
would be very interested.

Ignore 'em. They have a religious problem with YENC. Many have said that
they're gonna killfile those who post in YENC... which, as I've said before,
seems like a plan to me. Go for it, boys. Killfile away.
