Being a pilot myself, I do not see how this could have happened unless there was something physically wrong with the P63's pilot or controls. The relative speeds are too low for an experienced pilot to misjudge the clearance window like that. It almost looks deliberate. :(

I saw her back in May. I'm not sure if the crew composition was the same but the crew I met then was so nice and answered all my questions about her and B-17s in general. What a terrible loss. Image
