I was there, was Mustang Collision Oshkosh
I was down there too near taxiway P5. I was taking pictures of the race,
but it appears I don't know how to work the shutter speed priority of
the camera. I got a lot of white .jpg files in between real photos and
video clips.
It looked to me like there was no evasive maneuvering before the impact.
As I saw them coming in, I was thinking they were close, but there must
be enough left-to-right spacing. I was wrong. I still can't figure out
why they were oriented with the front plane landing first. I think Jerry
may have lost sight of the front plane. When the plane flipped over it
hit quite hard, so it looked bad right from the beginning.

I didnt get to see the very first part of the crash, nor have i looked
for any videos or pictures(yet, on dialup) but i'll give some
firsthand comments.
