KEEP THEM ON THE GROUND!!!!
They belong in the air where my son can see them,obviously install modern day technology to keep them safe. I cant believe i just read that!! Have you ever been to Duxford or any other air show? The people that give up there time and money to keep these things flying in memory of the countless lives lost in HISTORY,do it because they believe that this is a fitting memorial!!! I really cant believe i just read that on a forum like this !!!! Cheese |
Well you just did.
And in a few years your son wont be able to see them in the air or on the ground if we keep up the use and abuse of these relics. How many we got? How many we lost? How many left? No need to get emotional about it. |
Aw that's tragic :(:(:(
She was a great looking aircraft. I remember seeing her at Duxford UK in 2008. Glad the crew is ok, lovely bunch of people. http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/picture...&pictureid=738 |

Oh? will they be clearing out all the static examples out of museums? if there are people willing to fly these things using their own money and/or charitable donation then let them continue. |

Don't be too dramatic, there's plenty of static B-17 in the world, we need to keep them airborne. Funnily enough, keeping them airborne is the best way to preserve them in years to come, because keeping them airworthy means keeping them serviced and in running order. |

And not to mention that the only reason airshows are so popular is because of the flying examples. I go to Duxford to see the flying legends, the museum pieces are just there.
