 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Glad the Mustangs pilot got out alive, but after this footage i wonder if there was a possibility that the Mustang could have landed after the collision. We will never know.
There is bound to massive interest in the AAIB-report when it comes out. Continuing the speculation: perhaps a flight control surface got jammed, i.e. the elevatorCoHaBa wrote:Best recording of the accident this far.
