Ron Bulman Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 It is a sad thing to watch. The Bell 63 pilot seems to turn into the B-17 for no reason, a hard right. Six people died in a patriotic endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Govus Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Quote Arthur Alan Wolk is a Philadelphia aviation attorney who flew in air shows for 12 years. After watching the air show video and hearing the maneuvers described as “bombers on parade,” Wolk told The Associated Press on Sunday that the P-63 pilot violated the basic rule of formation flying. “He went belly up to the leader,” Wolk said. “That prevents him from gauging distance and position. The risk of collision is very high when you cannot see who you are supposed to be in formation with and that kind of joinup is not permitted.” He added, “I am not blaming anyone and to the greatest extent possible, air shows, the pilots and the aircraft that fly in them are safe. Air shows are one of the largest spectator events in America and it is rare that a tragedy like this occurs.” Associated Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
