Lost Another One - B-17 Crashed in Connecticut


Recommended Posts

It was Nine-O-Nine. Most likely a total loss this time as she is burning after hitting a shed off the runway.

 

Hopefully no fatalities, reports vary saying either 4 or 6 taken to the hospital, one in serious condition.

The AP is saying an "undetermined number of those aboard" have been killed. :(

Much worse than originally thought. Terrible.

Sad and terrible news. My condolences to the surviving dependents.

I saw this B-17 at a show in May.  Very sad.

Can’t imagine what their families are going through. Just an awful tragedy.

What a loss, what can one say.  RIP up to 13 soils may have been lost but not confirmed yet, so sad.

Pilot report some problem just after take off according to reports I have read or heard. 7 dead, for now.

First I've heard of this. So sad... That was one of two B-17s I've been in. I recorded my walkthrough of Nine-O-Nine (old camera that only did 720x480 resolution though).
