Watch the second video. Then look at the man standing directly between the camera and the crash. He doesnt look like he was the least bit surprised/startled/shocked/awestruck...or ANYTHING. He just casually looks back to the flight line. Oh well. He makes it look like it was just any old fly by. Oh well!

It may be because the plane crash was so far away. Look how far the camera zooms back at the end.

Wonder what it would have cost to trim those trees down a bit in the flight path ?
For any young guys looking at this I promise you that your depth perception and super human eye powers will slowly begin to fade with age. At 46 I notice I don't stray to far out like I use to.

On that first video is a GREAT example of what a p-51 will do on approach. Even though that was a dead stick, they will just tip stall and fall right out of the sky! Little mustangs will just bounce back but the big ones always break something when they misbehave like that!
