I'm working my way thru the material released recently. I have a long way to go on some of the Docket Items, but I have found some good info from the two I will mention below.
Instead of me trying to paraphrase what was said, I will give a couple places in the report to read that should answer most of not all questions.
Concerning the WoH show two weeks before:
Read Docket Item #13 Interviews with CAF Personnel, Pages 3-90 interview with John Cotten he was co pilot in C-47 in the bomber stream and explains what he saw on Sunday at WoH. He was also pilot or copilot in TR in both WoH and WoD during the Tora act and was flying the Helldivera t WoD.. I think I read somewhere there was something out of the ordinary on Saturday at WoH (maybe concerning the ME262) but I can't remember what it was or where I read it.
Fun and Sun organizers opinion of air bosses:
Read Docket Item #17, pages 1-5.
Thanks for that, I appreciate you giving me specific sections to read. Some of the themes in those interviews are consistent with comments I've heard firsthand from other performers and organizations involved in the airshow business.
I hope the airshow industry can learn from this, put proactive, protective measures in place and prevent it from ever happening again.
