Could have been a tragedy, thankfully no one was hurt. Makes you think though… Reply MIGenthusiast August 15, 2023 - 4:12 am Love those old MiGs, glad the pilot and crew are safe. Hope the planes OK too but probably not 🙁 Reply AirShowFanatic August 15, 2023 - 4:22 am Was there, saw the whole thing, terrifying! Hats off to the pilot and crew for handling it as best as they could. Reply JohnDoe42 August 15, 2023 - 5:32 am can’t believe it, planes crashing into parking lots now?? Thank goodness no one was hurt, could’ve been so much worse. Reply SafetyFirst77 August 15, 2023 - 11:13 am Investigation is needed, surely. Something like this shouldn’t happen at all, should be more regulations for vintage planes maybe.
