Smithsonian Channel Air Disasters. Crash at Reno Air show (2011?)

[surfnole]

One of my favorite shows to watch other than FSU football. This one's good because most of the crashes deal with commercial airliners. Pretty crazy race and as I recall F4Gary race is here. He probably knows all the details of this already.

Modified P51. Modifications to plane are interesting. Pilot hit 17G and likely passed out and couldn't control plane. 11 spectators killed.

Yea, trim tab came off. He was a very experienced air racer. Own the Leeward Air Ranch fly-in subdivision near Ocala.

Is that the one that Travolta lives in?

No. Leeward is southeast of Ocala and Tavolta is north of Ocala on Old 301. Jumbolair Aviation Estates.

I love shows like this. I have Air Crash Confidential set yo record every episode. Never saw this though.
