Crash of Scat VII TF-51
editYou have some info on the crash of ScatVII. It crashed outside of Urbana, INDIANA, NOT Urbana Illinois. I was there on Feb 20, 2003, and identified the aircraft. I was operating with the Wabash Co. Emergency Management Agency. Alan Wojtkowiak. Thank you. 2607:FB91:17C1:E5C8:DC1F:44EF:8E60:A6A1 (talk) 16:15, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching that. There was a typo in one of the sources, with "IL" appearing instead of "IN". Coincidentally, there is also an Urbana in Illinois, so I did not catch that error when I created the list. I've added two sources confirming that it was in Indiana. - ZLEA T\C 22:27, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
June 1 1945 bombing of Osaka
editWas wondering if this incident should be included as an accident did occur and P51s were loss without combat but it did occur while on a active bombing mission so idk if maybe not listed because of a technicality.
I'm referring to June 1 1945 during a bombing mission of Osaka. While escorting some bombers a group of P51 Mustangs from the 21st squadron encountered a thunderstorm with extremely poor visibility causing them to become separated from the main group where 27 Mustangs were loss due to in-air collisions and bail outs.

- It sounds like it could be included in this list. Do you have a source for it? - ZLEA T\C 15:07, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
