VZ_342 Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Very sad. Fortunately not all died, and one even had “minor injuries.” That’s an excellent crash landing imho. I’d still go up in a WW2 warbird!
epoch Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 6 confirmed fatalities so far, including 2 firemen. Very sad - the human loss and the piece of history. :sad_2:

Emmy Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 She was arguably one of the finest B-17s left in the world.

Sarpalaxan Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Isn't this one of the planes that one of the Hosts of the Alert-5 podcast flies?
MurderOne Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 I, unfortunately, watched her crash in 1987 in Pittsburgh. Sad she's gone forever now. Sorry, no cool signature here.

pepin1234 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I feel sorry for that. Human lives lost and an iconic aircraft crashed. R.I.P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
