Barton Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 Pictures I was able to take of the B-17 that went down when it came through the local airport. US103_Baer, Firefly, Stuka and 4 others 4 3 Quote
Britchot Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks for sharing, Barton. I saw her about 8 years ago, in Tucson and one time sharing a runway at Brackett, near LA. Barton and Klaiber 2 Quote
-Hawkeye- Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 I wonder what happened to it. The pilot said he flew it at least once a day, every day. For it to lose power like that, so lightly loaded.... maybe they got bad fuel. Quote
Klaiber Posted October 8, 2019 Report Posted October 8, 2019 I'm noticing that there is a bit more information out there now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Boeing_B-17_Flying_Fortress_crash#Accident This is all sourced, so I think that it's accurate. We probably won't know the real cause for a long while. Snaggle, -Hawkeye- and US103_Baer 3 Quote
