    The morning started with the coolest airshow routine I've seen, Tora Tora Tora. A flight of simulated zeros flew over as air raid sirens went off, and the sound of anti-aircraft guns firing, simulated bomb explosions, etc. Recreating a bit of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Went on for about 10 minutes with the zeros making repeated passes, and finally a few US Planes came up to try to defend.

    These planes were all flying a choreographed routine.... There were lots of planes going back and forth, I assumed the ones that looked like near passes were actually much further than they appeared.

    Holy hell.


    That p-63 looks to have overshot their route compared to the other planes around from what I've seen.

    So fucking sad, my heart goes out to the families of the deceased. That B-17 Texas Raiders has been around a long time, it was the first one I ever saw, at an air show in El Reno, OK, in 1980. Some friends were skydiving there, so we were going to the show to watch them. Had NO idea the CAF was doing their Tora Tora Tora show also, it was freakin' incredible! Also saw this B-17 a couple months ago at the airshow in Colorado Springs.

    I'm sad now, for many reasons.....
    There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!

    Truly sad on so many levels.

    You need to contact the CAF and the FAA.
    I have been following this since it happened and your shots are at a different and very clear angle than any other footage I have seen.
    Assist with the investigation.


    6 aviators were lost, 2 of them retired airline pilots (in the B-17) and an active 777 pilot (in the P-63).
    Incredibly costly day to the aviation community.

    Yeah, I've got a voicemail in to FAA, and left an email and call for CAF.

    I saw several high end camera setups in the area near where I was, so I suspect there is better footage, but I know every view might have some extra clue.
