We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    Sad day in Prescott

    Today is a very sad day in Prescott, as yesterday five great and talented peple lost their lives in an air accident just north of town.
    Please say a prayer for all of those they left behind.
    Info can be found at azcentral.com-heads up on the video and pictures.

    Rumor mill says the Piper pilot was an experienced and qualified warbird and formation pilot.

    Gotta love the TV reporter who says that the airplanes were "flying dangerously close".

    In the video of the Piper's wreckage, I don't see a horizontal stab. If he flew too high during the battle damage check, he might have put the t-tail into the MiG's slipstream...

      I heard this on CNN while I was sleeping earlier (or trying to)... Had hoped it was just a bad dream.

      Sad day...

      Please PM me if you know who the pilot/photogs were, but don't the info up here, yet, OK?...

        But it looks relatively intact and in one VERY small area.

          Mig 21 is a pretty hot airplane, not so sure the pipers speed is compatable enough to do a battle check. what do you think Randy?

            No problem IMHO. The Cheyenne can do 200-300 knots...that's a happy place for the MiG to be, too. We do BD checks in the T-38 and F-15 at 250-300.

            Looks like the name of one of the pax is out: Don Morris

              My bad, one of the reports I read said it was a Piper Archer.
