Only 3 things can kill a really good pilot...In order of likelihood
1. Mechanical failure
2. Pilot error
3. A jealous husband
RIP BOB!...this ones for you...
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth.
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings,
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
And, while with silent, lifting mind i’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
John Gillespie Magee Jr.

After looking at the wreckage at the crash site & the planes on his website, it looks more like he went down in his P-51.

Wow-— I know a Robert Odegaard—a dentist up near Seattle.
Wonder if there’s any family relation? RIP pilot man.

I’m not so sure.
If you look at the main gear, it is hinged very near the leading edge, and appears to retract aft. I believe it may be the Corsair. The rest of it appears to smashed up to tell. Sad, those 4360 powered Corsairs almost seem cursed.

Just shook his hand at Oshkosh, I can’t remember an Oshkosh I went to he wasn’t there, and my first was 1975.

I knew Bob from a previous life and he was truly one of the best. He could not only fly any antique plane, he could build them as well. He was a big supporter of the air museum at West Fargo and, as I recall, helped rebuild some of the planes exhinited there.

I was looking forward to seeing him at Reno this week.
Rest in peace, Bob.
Sad to see the big Corsair go down, too.

After looking at the pics in the article, looks like it was the blue Super Corsair that crashed. A twin to the pic you posted only blue.

It was NX5577N in which he went down... The blue one... He retored both the red NX5588N and the blue one one. Sad...
