The last photo shows clearly the bloodred painted tail sections.

Watching the fuselage break away from the wings was wild. The only saving grace is that they all died really fast, probably a few short seconds of complete confusion before they were gone.

If (1) somebody was manning that B-17 top turret and (2) the gun was locked and loaded, then damages for this incident could have been limited to one P-63 and one pilot.

Blind spot/constant relative bearing/loss of awareness/combination thereof. Probably. Also, to the retards calling for airshows to be banned - go hide in your fucking safe space and let those of us who want to put ourselves at risk at risk

That B-17 is a terrible loss, so few left.
