I've been to Oshkosh Airventure six times in the last ten years. Seen everything from an F4U Corsair cartwheeling to destruction, been chased across the grass by an out of control Beech Bonanza landing, numerous broken undercarriages, everything in between, and culminating in a fatal collision between two P.51s two years ago, one a new build. I had the misfortune to film this one. NTSB can I have the video tape back please?.
By the way, we Brits who go regularly there find the Emergency Teams response, particulary the Fire Crews, EXTREMELY SLOW in comparison to British Airshow teams. Any body else find the same?Most days at Airshows are fine, some can be very sad.
