Loss of life is obviously tragic and the most important thing, but the loss of one of the last still flying B17s is sad too.

The smaller plane (P-51??) was in a hard banked turn and the underside of his plane was possibly obscuring the view. Not sure who controls airspace at an airshow - ATC or the show operators - but someone should have been spotting and radioed to help keep those planes apart, both altitude and across the ground.

of course i wish it hadn’t happened but thankful it was over for them quick

so sad

that one vid shared showed a good amount of planes (unless they were birds) in the same airspace

that’s just begging for an acciident to happen
