Agreed Joe, it was a real looker. Nazy was a terrific guy too. He was never above letting people step up to take a look inside or answer questions about his airplane. He took many people up for a ride too. It's a real shame.

What a tragedy both for the pilot and his family and friends as well as for the P-51 and the warbird community...

Terrible loss on both accounts

Damn, Damn, Damn...

Human loss is certainly tragic but does anyone know the history of that particular aircraft? Was it a combat veteran?

Sigh -

Eric - it has the feel of a stall somewhere during the break to final... based on the "90 degree turn" comment although the sputtering sounds like an engine problem connected to the accident.
