Lots of low-flying aircraft... the next morning with the movie still in their heads the pilot simulated the stunts in the movie and got too close to the bus.
Exactly..... wonder if that busdriver watched it as well the night before?
We also have that infamous comment (from one of the investigators or so, not sure who it was) saying that "this was no accident"...... Makes me wonder why he said that? Based on what? Is it because of Don Airey's comments about that 'struggle' or is there more we don't know about......(?)
Also, was that 'struggle' mentioned in the investigation reports?

Randy's camera more than likely didn't survive.
also, chances are we will never see Don's pictures because they are very traumatic for him i'm sure, they were Randy's final moments.
i mean, would you want to give out pictures of your best friend (i know they weren't best friends, i'm just using an example) that were taken just moments from when he or she was killed in a horrific accident that could be blamed on you? probably not.
it is possible some of the pictures were given to Peter for the documentary, we won't know till the movie is out. and yes, the pictures have survived (don't know their quality for i have never seen them) because i remember reading somewhere in an interview with Don that he said he still has those pictures but never intends to give them to the public.

Wierd I can just picture what they would look like and and the mood an everything. Even though they would be sad to see I would love to see them still. I have a feeling don probably shared a couple pics for the documentary from that day

There's this thread with a reproduction of a photograph presumably taken by Don. It's grainy but gives a picture of what happened. I had the chills when I realized what it was. viewtopic.php?t=3351
Kathy Rhoads has the pics Don took that day. Some of them were out a few years back like the one with Randy and Rachal sitting on the wing of the plane. But the pics of the plane in flight we will never see. Kathy has them

Sorry mate, I can't answer your question. I don't have any pictures of my friend when he was killed in a car accident. All I got is a beer can from when we partied the night before. Would you like to see that?
rhoads-fan, i'm sensing some hostility from you...
i wasn't trying to sound like an ass, i was just saying from Don's point of view, he had some pictures of a dear friend. someone he had practically lived with for a few months, and his pictures were of his friend just seconds before dying from an accident that he probably still blames himself for,
would he just give them out to the public?
and i'm sorry for your loss rhoads-fan.

I had no idea that Kathy had those photos. I've never seen this photo of Randy and Rachael on the wing posing for a picture. I didn't know anything about that. I've only read that Don took a photo of Randy sitting in the plane. Sorry if this is sensitive.
Yeah, a good site but a little too "safe"/ PC. I don't believe in censorship. Topics such as this are very interesting and may be borderline"touchy" to some .Regardless, it makes for interesting topic..
(Just my 2 cents)
Randy & Rachel on the wing...huh. Sad. Would be interesting to see, though...
