Dammit! Not a lot of those old birds in flying condition anymore, and there they go wrecking them. Hope the pilots were okay, but damn.

There was a midair collision between a B-17 and a P-63 Kingcobra just minutes ago at the Wings over Dallas Air show.

Truly sucks.

That's at least three B-17s lost in around three years....Time to retire them before they are all gone.

The for-profit motives are very hard support at this point.

We're they both in the show? Was one a passenger plane?

 

[1srelluc]

I just hope it was not carrying paying passengers.....Paid passenger flights is how they keep the B-17s in the air so it would not surprise me.

 

[johngaltshrugged]

That's really sad for the families.

I wonder which one knew the Clintons?

I agree.

If you look at the video.....it wasn't the B-17's fault.....but it is time to ground them for static display only.

Westwall......

Why would you not want the LAST flying B17 grounded permanently?
Should it keep flying until more lives are lost?
They are VERY old.

The crash happened due to pilot error. There are over 40 of them flying worldwide, and so long as they are maintained properly, they should be allowed to fly.

Negative.....At least not passenger flights.

They didn't wreck themselves. Pure pilot error. Some of those guys that fly those planes have no business being at the controls.

The arrogance of money. Number one problem in America above anything else.
