Airborne Posted April 22, 2001 Share Posted April 22, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Napoleon1944: I was at an airshow about 12 years ago at the Beaver County Pa airshow when a B-17 (the 909) was carrying passengers, caught a windgust and ran off the end of the runway and down a steep hill. I have some photos of the wreckage. It was damaged so badly they had to keep it at the airport and rebuild it. Not sure if anyone was killed.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hey Nap44, I live near Beaver County, PA. I thought it was a B-24 they were restoring. Anyhow, you live in the area??

Cos Posted April 23, 2001 Share Posted April 23, 2001 Would do in a heartbeat....got the chance once to ride in the cockpit of a tin goose (1920's Ford Trimotor), but never a WWII plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
