VZ_342 Posted October 2, 2019 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

MurderOne Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I, unfortunately, watched her crash in 1987 in Pittsburgh. Sad she's gone forever now. Sorry, no cool signature here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
