Probus Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 This was horrible. I wonder what happened. Could the P-63 pilot blacked out maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probus Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I was planning on going to the BGG Convention in Dallas this weekend. I had tickets and a badge and everything. Ended up I couldn't go. I would have absolutely gone to the airshow if I had went down. Absolutely horrible. I was at the Aerospace America airshow in 1990 when Tom Jones was killed. I was waiting in line to get in the AWACS. That airshow also featured the AN-225 and we had just finished walking through it when the crash occurred. As a side note, the AN-225 was destroyed in fighting outside of Kiev in Ukraine in February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation I've seen is that both planes were in each others' blind spots. There are questions about the planning of the air show, and the appropriateness of the flight paths with relation to the spectators as well as the location of the air show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 I think that we have to be grateful that no one on the ground was killed or injured as has happened at air shows in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
