    I saw that a "private plane" went down in the Hudson, but at the time they didn't say what it was...

      Damn. RIP

      A small World War II vintage plane celebrating its 75th anniversary crashed in the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey on Friday, and police recovered a body from the single-seat plane, authorities said.

        Cool! I have the 1970 event brochure right here.



        And I have a 1977 Ghost Squadron digest from 1977. It has some really awesome (especially for the era) color warbird photography.




        Just some pages from the 1970 event that I thought were cool.

                    Thanks for posting those. I used to have a mid 80's ghost Squadron brochure that looked a lot like the '77 one.

                        • It's a bit backward from way it usually goes. In this case, the plane is repairable, but the person isn't. The Jug was a tough old girl.

                                I had a 5th grade (1981) math teacher who flew a P-47D during D-Day. While strafing a rail yard he assumed he hit a munitions car. The resulting explosion bowed the wings up, punched shrapnel holes in the floor of the cockpit and damaged the engine covering the canopy with oil. He bailed out over the English Channel after the engine died and was picked up by a British destroyer. He said if he had been in a P-51 he would have not been alive to tell the story.
