An upcoming airworthiness directive may, effectively, ground those few B-17s still flying. The cost to make new parts may be too frakking much for those few airplanes still flyable.
I count myself fortunate to have seen and heard B-17s fly.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
There aren't even that many P-63's left to worry about taking down B-17's.
ReplyDeleteActually, lazy count was four airworthy P-63’s and four currently airworthy B-17’s (with 5 or 6 more potentials)…just saying…but that was the fault of the Air Boss all the way.
ReplyDeleteAh. Sad - I hope at least a couple put the $$ into keeping them flying. But Nothing lasts forever.
ReplyDeleteI am lucky to have flown on 909 many years ago. Unforgettable.
