Air Show Crash at CAF Dallas Air Show

[Surpmil]

Very sad indeed and I would guess the pilot of the fighter either intended to make a close pass as though simulating an attack, or simply couldn't see the B17 past the nose of his own a/c.

Deliberate hadn't occurred to me, but similar things have happened. If there was some personal issues involved, perhaps that would explain what might have been intended only as a very close pass that was misjudged?
