Good lord what a collision. I can't imagine how there could be survivors but I pray there are.

It looks almost intentional. How could you miss seeing a B-17? Stunt gone wrong? But why would you even try a close flyby as a stunt?

Ooh, that video is just sickening. To think that bomber survived WW II and all the thousands of hours in demo flights to go down with the volunteer crew. The only good thing is they only had a couple seconds to contemplate their fate.

The pilot of the small plane was unbelievably incompetent. On a clear day, no less.

Saw an air show when I was a kid that had a bi-plane with a woman standing on top with wires holding her upright. Plane did a loop and didn’t quite come out of it and slammed into the ground.

Almost looks deliberate. How could that small plane not avoid that?

I don’t see how anyone could have survived that.

Not a very clear video but it looks like it was a P51 that hit the B17.

Looks like it might have been mock-combat and fighter miscalculated his angles and speed.

Almost 60 years ago, I went to the show at Reading, PA.

I even went back a second time to show our airplane in the “Best Equipped” contest.

I decided that it was not worth the risk and never went back and have never attended another airshow since..

Please update as possible!

Wow, folks are right.

That was nasty.

The small plane pilot suffered from the same problem that
motorcycle guys experience when doing wheelies. They
block their own view.

The pilot’s wing was up, and he didn’t see the other
aircraft.

I didn’t expect to see the damage to the B17 be that
severe.

I don’t see anyone walking away from that situation.

So sad for them, their families, friends, church and
business associates.

An otherwise great day, turns on this event. What
a terrible outcome.

Is the smaller plane not a Spitfire?

Doubly bad because it’s usually old geezer patriots piloting and on board. Prayers and hoping for the best!
