P-51 Mustang Collides and Crashes Over England

At the Flying Legends Air Show near Duxford over the weekend a P-51 Mustang collided with a Douglas A-1 Skyraider and crashed. The Skyraider suffered only minor damage. The Mustang's pilot bailed out and no one was injured, it's still very sad to loose one of the P-51s.

Below is a scene from one of my favorite movies of all time Empire of the Sun, Featuring the P-51.

Yes, everyone is alive and it is good news. But there is some kind of bad luck for old planes several last months.
