Default RE: TOP GUN

I was there Saturday. Took about 50 pics of some beautiful birds. On Saturday, I know at least three went in. I only saw two of them. First the A-26, and then a Zero during the mock battle. The zero took off, rolled over and went in. From a distance, it looked like the wing suffered most of the damage. The A-26 seemed to just just be underpowered and tail heavy. He took off, made two passes, and on the third, he came across the line, went into the pits, and just dropped out of the air into the pits. Luckily no one was hurt, just shocked that a plane crashed so close. The crash I didn't see was, I think an F-86. Supposedly it went down way out there. There was almost nothing left. I did get picks of the A-26 wreckage. I feel bad for him. It was a nice looking plane. Here are a few pics. If you want, I'll post more later.
