Shame to lose the Mustang but more importantly the pilots were both ok. I heard that the Mustang pilot, Rob Davies, suffered a broken arm. The Horsemen - Ed Shipley and Dan Friedkin were both in the air at the time. Dan was in the same formation flying "February" with "Big Beautiful Doll" and the Skyraider. Dan thankfully wasn't involved in the incident. Ed was flying in the group behind the mid-air and circled the downed Mustang and pilot helping to direct emergency crews.
It looks like the Spad just overtook the Mustang and hit the tail. Honestly, it looks like the Skyraider took all the damage. I couldn't see anything wrong with the Mustang-no fire, no smoke, no obvious holes or tears to the empennage.
I wonder if the control wires were severed, and that was why he crashed.

Out of the sandbox, finally!
