While watching this plane today perform some amazing stunts

Our heads were buzzed by what appeared to be a low flying plane. Next thing we know we hear a crash and see these people running to the site of the crash

As we ran to see what happened and went around the cars we came upon the crash site

There were no survivors

Apparently the guys remote stopped working and the plane just went out of control and hit the cars tire and was totaled. My wife and I and the kids wathed these plane in amazement. Radio Control has come along way. Check this one out

This thing actually sounded like a fighter jet as ift flew by at a serious rate of speed.


Have a great night...................

    I saw the title of this thread and thought, "Oh no. That's a shame...:cry "

    Quite a teaser, my photo friend. I love shots of RC planes...these included thumb.gif .

    Hi Joe!

    Whew! You sure had me going there! In 1970, we witnessed two back to back midair collisions during a T-6 (WWII trainer) race in Cape May, New Jersey. I hope never to see anything like that again. While I truly sympathize with the remote controlled aircraft's owner on the loss of his plane (the amount of dedication, work and money that goes into building those beautiful machines is incredible) , I'm very glad that the plane was the only fatality.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Did the crash cause the plane to take on different wing and underbody colorations? ne_nau.gifhuh

    (The plane in the first frame seems to be different from that at the "crash scene".)

    Great story. Had me going too. rolleyes1.gif

    Two different planes which I thought I made clear. ne_nau.gif I just wish I had caught the actual crash itself. That I'm sure I could have sold to the local papers:D Thanks for looking.....
