Sad news indeed.

I hate to hear this has happened
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Sadly incidents like this make the FAA look into airshows and the saftey of the spectators. I just hope since finally airshows are making a comeback since 9-11 that no un-needed restrictions are put into place.
Accidents happen, but not as frequent as most think, that line of thinking which the Media seems to like to instill in the minds of the un-knowledgeable.

Very sad indeed

When I was very young, our family had been plannind on going to a certain airshow for weeks. When the day finally came, we were all sick. We found out later that an aircraft crashed, killing quite a few spectators

And of all the P-51s still flying, it had to be one of the C's!    Now theres only one....  It'll probably be grounded now.

[Wing Nut]

It looks bad, but it may be restorable.

Terrible news to hear of such a tragidy.  

Does anyone know how many P-51C's are left flying-there couldn't be more than a couple.  Hopefully it can be restored.

Some people seem more concerned for the aircraft rather than the pilot. No matter how rare the aircraft might be it's only a hunk of metal. The pilot was irreplaceable, especially to his loved ones.

What a shame.  :(
An experienced pilot and a rare aircraft. 2 gems gone in a day.

I'm also glad that I'm not the only one with priorities in order.
