Said to be five lost aboard the B-17 and one in the P-63.

Sad to lose fellow enthusiasts and all that history. RE what you said above...odd that the P63 pilot was having to make such a hard left turn and maybe losing altitude in trade. Was really out of shape as I think they have to do flybys parallel to the field. Probably not meant to be a simulated attack on B17.
