F-15B Florida ANG departing off runway 3L during GF 97-3

Destroyed in a tragic midair collision with B-17G N7227C "Texas Raiders" at Dallas Executive Airport on 12 November 2022 during an airshow. The pilot of the P-63 and the five crew of the B-17 were all killed.

Ex USAAF 43-11719 owned by the Confederate Air Force (later Commemorative Air Force). This aircraft must have ranked as the most rare warbird flying at the time, because she was one of only two of her type ever produced. Two P-63Fs (out of a total production of 3,303 P-63s of all variants) were ever manufactured, making N6763 one of the most improbable warbirds to survive the war, let alone remain in flying condition. Sadly she was destroyed in a horrible and tragic midair collision with B-17 N7227C at Dallas Executive airport on November 12th, 2022, exactly 6 years after I took this picture.
