It looks like "Nine-O-Nine" flown by the Collings foundation piled up this morning. Pictures look bad as it burned.

That really is a shame, as they're not making any more.
I recall watching one at an airshow many years ago, & thought it was interesting when the pilot, or whoever, slid back the side window, elbow hanging out, so he could watch as each engine started up. Not unlike myself starting one of the various hoopties I've owned in my life. ![]() |

Terrible on many levels. The loss of the aircraft is sad but nothing compared to those onboard who won't be returning home tonight.

I'll admit, the thought crossed my mind when I flew in EAA's B-17 a few years ago. It's a bit spooky, but I just reminded myself that taking a quick ride around the block is a far cry from flying through hostile territory to drop bombs was a lot riskier. I just put on the big boy pants and went through with it. Enjoyable Experience.
RIP to those who died today. Really sad. ![]() Being in a plane crash is a terrifying experience. I hope to God I never have to go through another... |

Yes. They said there were 13 on board, three crew and ten passengers. That means some of the casualties were passengers. They also said one person on the ground was injured.

You're right man. Terrible in every way. I posted a pic of me inside that aircraft circa 2013, when a few Collings foundation planes were at Perry airport near the house. I will get my ride on a B-17 before I die. However, I want it to be the one the CAA flys as the "Memphis Belle". Just having been on this aircraft makes it a little more personal for me. MY youngest son was with me when we toured it.

Terrible tragedy. Every year I had the pleasure of seeing this plane take off and land In February when the airshow was in Naples. The airport was across from the CarMax I was working at.

How unbelievably terrible. I've taken a ride on this very plane, and their B-24. Don't believe they allow it now, but when I flew on the 24 you got to crawl around everywhere in flight. Made sure to point out NOT to step on the nose gear door as it was an emergency exit for the crew. Didn't realize how crazy it was to be crawling near that door in flight until much later.
Prayers to those on the flight. |

Back in 2013, 'Nine-Oh-Nine' was at Boeing field, about 3 miles from my house.
Great tour! Rides were about $300 to $400 depending where you sat. Too rich for my blood but just sitting in the different areas of her was fantastic! Best view was up in the dorsal port looking rear at that gigantic tail! |
