Hang in there to see the engine power up at 4+20 on the video. Cool! --Kent

Here's the NTSB report - http://www.ntsb.gov/NTSB/brief.asp?ev_id=20050526X00676&key=1

FYI - "OY" is Denmark. The pilot must have gotten his wings in the Danish Navy.

Wow, That could have been really ugly if it got back out of the water. A very graphic reason why its important to hit the master and fuel cutoff.

That is just bizarre!!

Remembering Jay Blum

Lost in the rebroadcast of this exceptional video is the name of the photographer, Jay Blum. Shortly after the Citation made it's big splash, Jay was lost in a tragic mid-air collision over Delaware Bay. He and Ralph Morgan collided during a practice session with the Vulture Formation Team. Please remember Jay for his dedication to flying and the timeliness of his video camera.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Good motivation to continue being careful.
