Condolences to the families and friends of the B17 crew who lost their lives in an unnecessary accident at the Dallas airshow. 
Such a waste of man and machine, and a stark reminder of the thousands of young men who suffered a similar fate in WW2.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Zed.
They are placing blame on the Air Bosses currently for having both sets of planes flying at the same level as one another.
They are also blaming the King Cobra pilot for not throttling back and instead throttling up to catch up to the P-51's and losing sight of the B-17...
