Gforce Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 My Dad and I went 4 years ago and it was a blast ! We were sitting right where Jimmy P51 went in.. Talk about timing !
fly_tornado Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I was about 20m from where he landed. still haunts me
Gforce Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I was about 20m from where he landed. still haunts me Really ? Were you hit by flying debris ? Glad you were ok mate.
fly_tornado Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I ended up covered in the boil off fluid, when you see that footage you see 2 plumes of debris, one is the plane the other is the coolant. Most of the debris hit the people closest to the crash but it was a scary 5 seconds watching it fly through the air wondering where it was going to land. You never you when you time is up!
Gforce Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Holy crap ! Well, as I said Im glad you were ok. The boil off fluid must of been hot however ?
fly_tornado Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 nope, it was sticky though. it was in the low 30c range so everyone in the stands behind the accident was in shorts and Tshirts so we all got covered in it. it was such a surreal experience. 1
