Chantry Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Skyraider and Mustang Collide at Duxford But, good news, both pilots are safe. Glad both pilots are safe and congrats to the Skyraider pilot for landing his aircraft with a couple of feet of his right wing missing. As an aside, the joke I heard about the Skyraider that the REAL determining factor on how long a mission would last was not fuel or ordinance, but how much engine oil they had left.
