Picture of the Spad landing with a very tense looking pilot.

 

Also of the P51 pilot baling. Modern bale out rigs open very fast and very low. A friend had a mid air and baled out at about three hundred feet and survived. He did land in the sea though.

I saw the whole thing going down, the P51 had to be very low on fuel cause there was no explosion visible and no sound from it when it hit the ground behind the trees. That plane won't fly again

I will post a picture of the Mustang once I've uploaded them from the camera, luckly I took pics of all the planes before they started flying

Looked to me like the skyraider pilot lost sight of the mustang and pulled into him after the mustang broke out of the formation.  The mustang broke out and then rolled out of his turn, and the skyraider turned and flew into the mustang.  That's what it looked like to me.

The Skyraider pilot has big balls of steel to stay in the pilots seat after the mid air collision.

not only did this happen, but a DR1 replica flippedon the same day. And then another DR1 replica crashed the day prior in New York.

It appears to have been the p-51's fault. His turn was very shallow.

I loved that plane.

Regardless, bolth pilots did very well at keeping those birds air worthy long enough to A:  Get out and b: land without risking any other human lives, save them self's.

Sh17 happens.
