Gunboat1 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 pic.twitter.com/hdieiJuqvX pic.twitter.com/peyMeEMA25 This is awful. Prayers for the souls of all aboard. A P-63 Kingcobra flew into the B-17 Texas Raiders. The Kingcobra was banking hard and probably didn't see the Fortress until it was way too late. The Fortress broke in half at about the waist gunner position, and immediately crashed. There will be no survivors, I'm certain of that. Initial reports said it was a P-51 Mustang, but apparently it was not. Sorry for the inaccurate title. GB1` 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 That is a horrible tragedy. I flew on 909 about 20 years ago and that one is also gone now. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&P15T Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Looks like having all the planes flying at the same elevation was an incredibly stupid idea by the organizers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Now they're saying the P63 struck an object before veering into the B17. Drone maybe? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmohme Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 That is really depressing! I was shooting a horse show in Katy when that plane flew past on its way to that air show. Prayers to those who lost there lives and to their loved ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
