I hate to bring such tragic news to this board, but it has been reported just within the last few hours, that the P-51D, known as Su Su, crashed, devastatingly, while attempting an aborted-landing, as far as reports can state. I feel especially awful for the pilot's wife, who was at the airport, and saw it unfold. The following are a couple of news reports, with the latest information as it comes in.

While not confirmed, it sounds like the aircraft got away from the pilot, after he tried to get airborne again, bringing the power up, after bouncing on landing.
