I saw it about 11:15 that morning while driving past the airport on my way to San Marcos. Imagine my shock in hearing about the accident once I got there. I was lucky enough to have gotten to ride it back in 1979, and even had 20 minutes in the left seat. A very tragic loss of those flying her..
That hectic flight pattern and aircraft sharing same altitude boxes at greatly different speeds was a recipe for disaster. She was in perfect flight status conditions until that fateful day. So sad and a tragic loss. In the flying game you can’t afford complacency.
Nice video. Just a note: a 180° shutter will help spinning propellers look more natural, even on progressive scan rolling shutter camcorders. Cheers! RIP Texas Raiders
@@starsiren9592 It's called political correctness, and the fact that there's women flying frontline combat aircraft, means that the pin-up style of nose art is no longer accepted today.
@@johnosbourn4312 Damn, and I thought the whole point of that war was to get a better society, not a worse one, lol. Funny how now a days we're swimming in porn, LGTB stuff, women that dress in ultra revealing clothes, etc. yet cute and totally harmless pin-up drawings like the ones from WW2 _(a much more wholesome era)_ are considered "unacceptable."

Depressing year. RIP to those lost and their families. Irreplaceable equipment loss is sad too.
Very sad. She was the last B-17 I saw fly back in 2016. A shame she's gone. RIP to all those lost in this tragedy.
I was proud to have flown In this beautiful aircraft. It was a lifelong dream of mine. My heart was broken when I heard about the accident.
Very glad you got such good footage of this beautiful bird! Looks like I have another model to add to the collection for memoriam

It's a damn shame that we lost her, and her crew, along with one very rare warbird fighter; the P-63F, and its pilot, as well.
Can't believe she's gone...
I really like those WW2-era pin-up girl logos they used. How come we don't do cool stuff like that anymore?
Because the world has gotten soft any anything that might suggest a male being attracted to a female is wrong in this politically woke agenda.
This is a very different time, so that kind of Nose Art is no longer deemed acceptable in the air force, today.
@@johnosbourn4312 Why wouldn't it be acceptable anymore? There's absolutely nothing wrong with it and it looks really good.

Ese avión alcanso los setecientos por hora en tiempo normal a altura 350000 pies y sin ser visible al radar
I thinking P-63 pilot was in depression,it was suicide ramm intentional
what an ignorant statement! it was the fukken Airboss that is responsible for the crash! no fukken altitude separation!
