B-17 crash

As you may have read, the Collings Foundation B-17 "Nine-O-Nine" crashed at a
Connecticut airport last Wednesday, killing 7 of the 13 aboard. It's a good thing I took my
flight on it a few years ago as now they are questioning whether these old military planes
should be carrying passengers. Aside from the terrible loss of life, these planes can't be replaced.
The Collings Foundation has suspended all passenger flights of their vintage planes.
Truly a sad day for aviation.
