On the video it looks as though he might have clipped the other aircraft or he became disoriented because of a hazy obscured horizon.

It is very disconcerting that all these accidents are happening to high time very proficient pilots . These war bird planes are also high time aircraft and may have metal fatigue. The P 51 in Reno seems to have lost a control surface and the accident in Kansas city looked like the pilot had a G-loc.

Condolences to the families of these brave men and women who push the limits of aviation.
