It's sad to see. Some of the post-landing/crash photos remind me of the B-17 crash depicted in the film Memphis Belle. Thankfully everyone survived this.

Good news that everyone made it out, but watching her burn is painful. As Jeremy said, it's heartbreaking...a piece of history gone forever.

Makes you wonder...Quote:
Jim Gibson took video of the plane on Sunday. His uncle was a tail gunner in a B-17 in World War II. Gibson says a mechanic told him they had been repairing a fuel leak.
"We were wondering would it fly, and I went up and took some videos of it. And the gentleman said, 'no, it doesn't look like it. We have some fuel leakage problems.' "
She visited Teterboro back in 2007. Thread Here
