Negative.....At least not passenger flights.
It does not matter who's fault it is, there is only a certain number left.I disagree. I have time flying one and they are not a problem. The Collings Foundation had been warned about their poor maintenance on their B-17 but they ignored us. And sadly people died as a result, but the overwhelming majority of vintage aircraft crashes are pilot error.
It is not even close.

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.
Historic military planes collide in mid-air crash at Dallas Executive Airport
Two military planes from World War II collided mid-air during a Veterans Day air show at Dallas Executive Airport on Saturday.www.fox4news.com
It looks like both of them crashed and burned. If the B-17 was full, there could be 20+ fatalitiesDammit! Not a lot of those old birds in flying condition anymore, and there they go wrecking them. Hope the pilots were okay, but damn.
Yeah, that's a damn shame to lose two war birds.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.
WereWe're they both in the show? Was one a passenger plane?
There are over 40 flying in the USA today, another ten or so worldwide. The population of them is fine. Almost all of the historic ones are well preserved.
Wrong.. There are only 40 left in the world, with only 8 being airworthy.

B-17s you mean?Actually, we are both wrong. There are 45 airframes that are complete, worldwide, depending on the year between 7 and 9 are airworthy.
It was in the air show. The B-17 was hit by that P-69 Kingcobra.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.
They don't allow passengers during an airshow.It looks like both of them crashed and burned. If the B-17 was full, there could be 20+ fatalities
