EDIT: 5:14, it looks like the spitfire either hit or sharply evaded the powerlines. Any idea which?

I'm betting on "evaded" since the camera footage wasn't destroyed in a fireball.

When you swing a sharp knife moderately fast, can you cut thin fishing line?
Do you see where I'm going with this?

Yes, but I think there is a big difference between a sharp steel knife vs fishing line and an aluminum wing vs a copper cable.

Post by: Angus on August 10, 2011, 05:32:15 AM: I have heard about p-51's cutting power lines on purpose, but don't buy the story.
I do know of some crashes where aircraft hits powerline, and it normally means that the aircraft crashes and the powerline stays.
Oh, and bad me....I have flown under powerlines, - MANY TIMES :devil
