  1. Just saw this commemorative event story reported on Martha MacCallum's FoxNews "The Story" show last evening and recorded some time over the weekend prior to the accident. Several of these aircraft in the photos were shown including the two in the accident: the Bearcat and the Trojan. Dan Hill shown here with his T-28 that apparently got hit is a retired airline captain. Hope that bird wasn't damaged too bad.
