I do not like the idea of re-posting them here, but if you want to see
photos of the Mustangs tangling at Oshkosh, go here

and click on Fatal Warbird Crash under Multimedia Photo Galleries on
the right side and down a bit. The pictures provide some support for
eyewitness descriptions: Precious Metal's propeller got into the tail
of Stang, shoving Stang onto its nose, while Precious metal flipped
over and exploded. The two were attempting to land in formation.


What a shame. But why the formation landing? What's the point? From the
video I watched, Precious Metal was clearly higher and faster than Stang.
