Re: Pilot killed in collision at Oshkosh 2007 air show

The word on the ground is that they were experienced pylon racers but were not experienced formation pilots. The P-51A was too fast in the transition to flare and cut into the side of Stang.

The latest update is that they weren't actually supposed in formation at all and the P-51A just lost situational awareness with the D in front.
