A very sad situation. But my question is why? Why. Oh why. Oh why did the situation arise, 2 rare and irreplaceable aircraft destroyed because of what?
I am a pilot, I don’t want to point fingers, but really? I fear that the more manoeuvrable aircraft must bare the burden - but, I wasn’t there, I didn’t see so my observations must be taken as mine.
This, I hate to say, but. … no I am going to say no more.

I must add that my sympathies go out the the families of the pilots and crew of the 2 aircraft.

A tragic situation.

Thank you, Tony, for not speculating.

Anyone who feels they need to speculate should do so on other forums, but not here. Thank you.

A tragedy indeed in many ways.

RIP all those lost
Best wishes
