Notes:

A harrowing moment as the AJBS Skyraider collides with P-51D Mustang 'Big Beautiful Doll' at Flying Legends. Pilot Rob Davies had seconds to exit the aircraft and open his parachute before it crashed into a cornfield. The Skyraider pilot managed to recover from an uncommanded roll and limp back to the airfield with one third of his wing missing. (1200px)
