BAD SNAKE Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I saw on the news a B-17 crashed, everyone survived. Not too many left flying around, sad. http://www.thenewstribune.com/2011/06/13/1704238/vintage-wwii-b-17-bomber-crashes.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2007_Shelby_GT Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Glad to see they are reporting all seven aboard got out OK, plane appears to be a near total loss with the post crash fire. A real shame - that particular aircraft had an interesting history doing flight tests for early turbo-props and actually flew with one tacked on to the nose while the 4 reciprocating engines were feathered! 15 year restoration down the tubes!
