Glad you son was unhurt. |
I don't know if he has done that already or not, forgot to ask.
@White Owl
What you got there is pretty much what the stories are around the airport.
Many eye witnesses said they observed the plane change direction at about 200 feet, where the third picture was taken but that may be in error. To me it seems you are correct in that the pilot was unconscious. Excellent post by the way.
My son did say he thought that he was a dead man at one point.
After he took the third pic he hit the deck and worked his way under the grandstands he was standing in front of.

Edit This may be the end of the Reno Air Races.
With 11 dead and so many injured someone is bound to sue and that will open the flood gates.
Insurance cost just might be so high that they can't put on the races anymore. Maybe an air show but not racing. I sure hope not.
