Air Show Crash at CAF Dallas Air Show

[Bob Womack]

B-17 "Liberty Belle" developed a fuel tank fire in the port wing, was put down in a cornfield, and burned up.








Restoration to airworthiness is currently underway. That's amazing. Out of a total of forty-five survivors, there are currently nine airworthy examples, six known to be undergoing restoration to airworthiness, and five that are registered with the FAA that are currently static displays.

That airport is a 20 minute drive for me, amazing to safely land and get everyone aboard evacuated before the plane was consumed by the flames.
