Tragic news and the second bad news of the day.
Annie and I went to Capital Airport today to visit a B-17, B-24 and B-25 that were staying there for a few days and called my Warbird restorer/brother to let him hear the B-24 firing up (I will post pictures later) At that time he informed me of this tragidy. As it turned out I knew both pilots, Gerry Beck flying Precious Metal II and Bob Odegaards's son Casey flying Dazzling Donna. Casey survived but Gerry was killed upon impact. Anyone who knows either of these gentleman know what a tragic loss to the Warbird community that Gerry's death will bring as he was a huge asset to the P-51 family. Not a good day today.
