Re: Dallas Airshow B-17 Flying Fortress Collides With Another Plane
Sr. Royce: he was the previous airboss, with war bird xp, who pushed CAF to let his son replace him: Russ Royce: , he only has a single engine pilot paper, and he is not allowed to give pilots in flight orders nepotism |

Re: Dallas Airshow B-17 Flying Fortress Collides With Another Plane
On the contrary, in most of the footage I've seen, the cockpit of the B-17 looks fully intact after the impact. I'll bet the B-17 crew survived until they hit the ground.  |

Re: Dallas Airshow B-17 Flying Fortress Collides With Another Plane
Sorry didn't see the pilot/co pilot at first, radio man, waist gunner were a gonner though. In the hd photo, just above the starboard wing, can you see what appears to be a person wearing the same khaki as the pilot? |

Re: Dallas Airshow B-17 Flying Fortress Collides With Another Plane
Possibilty of a drone striking the p63 causing engine loss  Couple slowmo vids showing something peculiar right before impact.. Maybe someone here can check footage and zoom in to see it. |

Re: Dallas Airshow B-17 Flying Fortress Collides With Another Plane
An unsurprising ending for the famous B-17. In the words of Oscar Brand: "The navigator sits in front, surrounded by his maps. He belches in the intercom and wakes us from our naps. FRIG THE FLYING FORTRESS AND PRAY THAT SHE'LL ABORT, WE'D RATHER BE AT HOME THAN IN THE FRIGGIN' FLYING FORT. The captain sits upon the left, He flies the Fort with ease, But hands it to the co-pilot When we're heading for the trees. The midway gunner has to stand to give his guns a pull, But that's all right, cause in the flight His pants get mighty full. Then pity the poor tail gunner, For his space is very sparse, And when the landing gear retracts He gets it up the arse. FRIG THE FLYING FORTRESS AND PRAY THAT SHE'LL ABORT, WE'D RATHER BE AT HOME THAN IN THE FRIGGIN' FLYING FORT." |
