During yesterday's airshow, a P-51 went missing from the formation it was supposed to be in. The crash was reported at 1602 by the Fond Du Lac police department.
RIP
Condolences to the family.

I wouldn't run off feeling sorry for anybody just yet. At least not until we find out who the widow ends up suing.
 
P-51

Word around our camp was that it was in the missing man formation that went over the show. It then was reforming away from the show to come by for another pass when it pulled up away from the formation, went inverted and went in at a sharp angle. Rumor was a heart attack. I don't mean to speculate, just passing it on. The preliminary is on the NTSB website.

RIP
