Yeah I saw that. It was a T-28 Trojan just like my Dad's. He had several friends over the years stuff War Birds in the ground during air shows and fly ins. Still didn't stop him but you could see the concern on his face. Some of those that died were half his age. He said it was about 50/50 pilot error and mechanical failure. Luckily he saw fit to stop flying formation before he got in trouble. Don't know how long some of those 60+ year old War Birds can safely fly.
I do love it when every spring a B-17, B-24, P-51 two seater and sometimes a B-25 fly in to the Frontiers of Flight musuem at Love Field here in Dallas. They take folks up for rides for $$ (all tax deductible!
) and the out and back flight path are right over my street. LOVE hearing those big radials singing.
Sad about the WV accident. At least it was away from the crowd. RIP.
