Definitely the main thing is that the pilots are OK; remarkable low level bailout by the P-51 pilot and a safe landing with what must have been compromised roll control on the Skyraider.

On the bright side, hopefully the insurance will pay out on BBD and that money can be used to restore her. Doubt if there's much usable on the very crumpled airframe but there's plenty of work there for one of the excellent warbird workshops.
