The end of an era and of one of my favorite aircraft. This last remaining "flying wing" - Northrop N9M went down nearby. I saw her fly many times at the Planes of Fame annual show, which it was practicing for.
Prayers for the pilot and his family.

Very sad.

When I was moving into a place in Corona, CA. My father and I both saw this thing fly over at high speed towards Lake Mathews. We were both mesmerized by the sight, sound and speed at which it flew. The sky was overcast and it looked black , not the dark blue it was painted on the bottom. It was two years before the debuted it to the world at Chino.

I was always inquiring for two years before my question was answered.

Prayers to the family
Very sad day
