Never heard that...least not on the forum that reported and photographed the incident I read.

I was simply pleased the pilot got out safely.

Yeah - same.

But apparently all they need is the name & serial plate, and the funds to do it. The group that had it had only had it for about a month.

Another Mustang had a near miss while I was at the show. I have a clip that I took somewhere... It was to the point that I was standing up saying "Oh **** oh **** oh ****" tho the mic didn't pick that part up. I estimate there to have been about 10ft clearance between him and a Beech D18.

The Mustang came in high hot and off center.

Not as close as my favourite low flying Spitfire then
