    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.

    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.
