I fail to see how a report to this board on something that happened at Reno today could turn into a debate on a incident, accident, crash, bad landing, or whatever you want to call it. In fact, the first response to my post on this tragedy was an argument in samantics. I was there and I saw it happen. I got on my cell phone and called someone to post it on the bulletin board so all of you could know what happened immediately. I probably was the the first person to published this news globaly. I was trying to report this so all of you who care about warbirds, racers or not, could know the facts. The P51 Miss America is heavily damaged and will take a long time to rebuild. I am a pilot and know what a crash is. I too have seen Gary Levitz die out here at Reno as well as many others over the years. I know the FAA regulations and I know what terminology I choose to use to describe what I saw. So lets talk about the fact that Miss America is damaged and not the words I used to title the news report.
