Barton Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Pictures I was able to take of the B-17 that went down when it came through the local airport. Snaggle, Klaiber, Lipfert and 4 others 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britchot Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRFC Hawkeye Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share 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. IRFC Hawkeye, US103_Baer and Snaggle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
