P-51 tragedy at Oshkosh

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Again, from Tanknet, one of the members there:

I was in the crowd, sitting in front of the announcing stand and behind and to the right of another, smaller stand. Don't know what their function was, but I saw the guys up there perk up and then two seconds later, the firetrucks were rolling. Weird thing was that from my location there was no noise, fire or smoke. First word filtering through the crowd was that there was a Mustang on it's nose, and then that the two Mustangs in the mock race had collided on the ground. Sounding like a relatively minor taxiing accident at the time, I didn't know there was a fatality until I got home and checked the net. A real bummer, condolences to the family.
