Sad end to a great plane. If I read my bombs correctly, it looks like it survived 34 missions only to be destroyed in an air show 75 years later! Glad you got those beautiful shots of the plane.

What a tragedy for the crews of both aircraft and the loss of the planes, also.

I am also glad that I did Mike. It is a shame that this tragic accident happened. I searched previous air shows that I attended and found these.

I agree 100% Jack. The loss of the planes and human life is very tragic. Appreciate you taking the time to comment.
