In #EAA B-17 news:
"After several weeks of disassembly, EAA and volunteer crews in Punta Gorda, Florida, have loaded the trucks to ship the B-17 Aluminum Overcast back to Oshkosh to complete repairs and get the Flying Fortress back into flight status.”

A tremendous 2021 video of Texas Raiders, the B-17 that was lost yesterday in Dallas in a horrific accident. The B-17 was of the most important aircraft in WW2, particularly for its role liberating Europe from Nazi control. Fewer than ten remain in airworthy condition.

The news and video of the #B17 and #P63 crash at #WingsOverDallas are crazy and sad. Initial reports are that the B-17 was in the blind spot of the P-63. Just awful.
A B-17 and another WW2 era plane collided and crashed at airshow in Dallas. It's horrifying. There's a bunch of footage from different angles. #B17 https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/on-camera-b-17-bomber-collides-with-another-plane-mid-air-at-us-airshow-3515387

Visite commentée d'un #HandleyPage #Halifax, bombardier lourd britannique🇬🇧 de la seconde guerre mondiale.
Il fallait être courageux pour faire des missions sur un tel avion conçu sans aucune prise en compte de l'humain. C'était à l'équipage de s'adapter à l'ahurissante conception interne étriquée de l'avion. Conception typiquement british par ailleurs, c'est pareil avec l'#Avro #Lancaster.
En comparaison, le #Boeing #B17 est alors un véritable salon volant.
