can't believe you typed all that together batfink........

So the crew died 70 years ago, big deal really,

it is a very big deal.....for them giving their lives in whatever capacity is what enables you to type your above quote  and your below quote.........

regardless of however anyone might want to spin it........


Its a fraeking huge bomber, intact, standing on its nose. It is funny, just enjoy it out of context?

nothing more to say........ :-/
"When one considers just what they should say to a new pilot who is logging in Aces High, the mind becomes confused in the complex maze of info it is necessary for the new player to know. All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

You realize this was one of three B-24's on a Training Flight?  



Hmmm.  I doubt that airplane crashed from flight into that position.  Everything I've read was that this was a takeoff accident in which they didn't takeoff but overran end of runway.

It is a Documented Picture/Fact/Case/etc.   You're thinking of another accident.   The information I provided, was to this picture.

can't believe you typed all that together batfink........

Same goes for me.

I've read something similar, that the plane was taxiing in after landing when the nose wheel collapsed, and its inertial momentum then caused it to flip up to said position. I really do not see a plane falling from the sky landing so intact, the physics just don't support that.

Still, I agree with Batfink and feel it was quite a Debbie Downer moment going into the detail how a crew died in a thread dedicated to cartoon pile-its that are known for crash landing and wrecking perfectly good airplanes.

Yes they were kids, though they did not ask for you to walk on eggshells around their history for ever....

If i was one of them i would probably get a laugh sitting on my cloud just seeing that pic again. They certainly would not want anyone to be harrased for making light fun of it.

I've given an opinion, I didnt mean to offend anyone. I'm out.

i think i would sit up there, and laugh at me too. as long as i wasn't the cause of everyone else dieing though.

 i wasn't trying to be mean to anyone....just making a comment is all.
