Such a shame to lose the crews AND the planes.  I hope the families are OK.

The pilot of the A20 was from Fort Worth and about 80 years old at the time. They interviewed his son later and he said his Dad died doing what he loved to do.

The PBS station in Dallas just finished an hour long special about the B17s that are still flying.  The CAF has two and the one in Fort Worth, makes me feel good that we have folks that are dedicated to the preservation and flying of these planes.

Yeah, I can see how having the person with the clicker dropping dead in the middle of Dancing With The Stars would have that effect on her.   :o   ;)

course we didn't have no air base around to hear any military planes, but we had more of them single engine spray planes flyin around out there in the country than you could stir with a stick, 

most of em took off from a local airport every morning, but would then land at some farmers to fill up with water and poison,  my granddad had one guy he'd let land on his pasture and fill up.  I was 6 and when Doyle was flyin I'd be down there when he landed,  he had one of them converted PIPER CUB,  when he'd land he'd kill it and start fillin it up and hop me up in the seat,  he showed me what I could touch and what I couldn't,  mostly I pulled, pushed and went from side to side with the control stick.  thought the world of Doyle for lettin me play in his plane,

the year I turned  10,  he crashed at the end of a soybean field,  he came in that morning filled up and off he went,  he came over the house like any other time, waved the wing at us and next thing we heard was a crash and saw some smoke.  killed him instanly I guess according to the farmer that was there flaggin him.

found out through the years, it was dangerous business,  saw 3 others killed in spray plane crashes,  saw 3 other crashes where they walked away


We done it for Dixie,  nothing else

I helped pull a pilot out of a crashed AG Cat when I was still in the Panhandle, in about 71. The plane was full of fuel and chemicals. We got the pilot out without the plane catching on fire. He was pretty banged up, but alive.  Those computer graphics are awesome, it looks real.
