With any luck the camera in the cockpit (I remember the DVD was supposed to have cockpit footage) will have survived and we can all S**t ourselves as the ground gets closer.

Put full screen and 720p on for this vid:


Edit: Just spoke to my Dad in person after this mornings text confirming the pilot was fine. The reports on the news are wrong, he did not break an arm and did only suffer minor abrasions to both forearms. He was found inspecting the airframe with tears in his eyes (it was his, 3 months previous), wanted to know who had hit him and wanted to get back to the ATC tower as his daughter was there.

One lucky guy. That's it from me on this subject - I think I've posted enough about it :p

It is amazing that the wing structure of the skyraider gave way and not the fuselage of the P-51.
