I'm surprised that this doesn't happen more often at these airshows if that video is typical. It seems like they had too many planes in a small area.

That said, the fighter plane doesn't look like it tried to evade at all. It almost makes me wonder if the pilot had a medical thing happen or something. It flew straight into the B17 and never wavered. But then again it was turning, so maybe the pilot was inexperienced or distracted.

Weird situation.
