Very sad day at Dallas Airshow. A super rare B-17G, named "Texas Raiders" was doing a low fly by when a gaggle of fighters flew overhead. One was a P-63 King Airacobra. This aircraft did a sudden slicing manuever which cut off the wing of the B-17. All died. There are reports that the B-17G had civilians on board which had paid for a B-17 ride. The video is short but shows what happened, filmed by a bystander. Very tragic.

It’s crazy. Some time ago you asked about other tnp adventures and i mentioned a b17 ride and we have since lost 2. CAF is at Conroe Regional, I met up with my BIL a few times there and their hanger was always open and welcoming.
