Default crash

They just showed a detailed report of the crash on TV. The Mustang was highly modified for racing . In an old interview the now dead pilot said 10 feet has been shaved off the wings . He said Jet aircraft type speeds were wanted. They were talking about 500 mph speeds . Reports indicate that the tailplane brokeup ..photos support this . One large, clear photo taken an instant before in hit the ground shows the pilot isn't visible..he is slumped and just isnt seen.
