That really does hurt. Not going to rebuild that one. My grandfather was a B-17 flight instructor and then moved on to the B-52. I have an old balsa wood model of a B-17 he made.

 :crying:  Very sad to see....
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Man that is hard to take in.
Serving 26 years in the Air Force, I respect these older planes for their hard work and beauty.

This happened in 2011. Still sad.
