This is an interesting thread. I was on the tarmac at the Van Nuys airport (VNY), when the Clay Lacy Learjet landed after filming the mid air. Needless to say there was a lot of distress at what they had just filmed and the media was in a frenzy asking for simplistic answers for the evening news.
More recently I have worked with the son of John Fritz, the GE Chief Pilot was part of the formation flying that day. His career was pretty much destoyed by this event as someone had to take the spear for being a part of the organizing effort for this flight. John Fritz is alive and well living in the North West these days.
I have friends that have visited the crash site and actually recovered very small parts of the B70. Kind of amazing as one would have thought they would have used a fine tooth coomb to clean up the wreckage or whats left of it.
