Why yes they are Nu.
Hey, did UsAir or AWA get some Airbus options from NWA in the past? In BOS a while back I saw a cactus 320 with a NXXXUS tail number........

Someone once explained to me, but my TRS-80 cassette tape based brain has since run out of room...
I do remember the USAir birds with the "AU" tail numbers were part of a "good as gold" campaign.

Hey guys, just changed my password on Deltanet to access my work e-mail, now can't call scheduling. I remember a conversation about this recently, but can't remember the details on how to get around a letter being in the password. Any thoughts?

There are several good stills shots and movies that show what perhaps happened. It appears the trim tab came off the elevator. You can see it separate in one video and the aircraft pitches up instantly. This is a common problem in the P51 at high speeds and has happened before. It happened at Reno a few years back and the aircraft did a 9 g pitch up. The pilot in that case was able to recover the aircraft after it slowed and land.
In this case it appears the pitch up may have GLOC the 80 year old pilot. You can see in a close up still that he is slumped over out of sight in the cockpit just before impact.
The entire accident is very sad and perhaps had a better trim tab been mandated for 51's in air races it could have been avoided since its a known problem.

Thanks Johnso,
After talking to IT, you can designate a 4 number pin via Icrew or Ecrew under personnel. You were faster than IT!

I think your assessment is probably correct. What I don't understand is why the loss of just the trim tab would cause full deflection UP on the elevator which is what would have been required to produce 9 to 10 G's? Also, he didn't GLOC instantly because he radioed a mayday after he went vertical. Since GLOC produces nearly instantaneous unconsciousness, it seems to point to something else.

Go here and scroll down for a pic of the missing tab and a pic that appears to show the pilot was not awake just before impact.
