No survivors. No one survived that. Prayers to all. Magnificent people I am sure and Texas Raiders was a real special plane as well.

Naval Air Station Kingsville, Tx late 90’s, watched a jet (F4 Phantom I think) nose dive straight into a farmers field.
Nothing left of the pilot but a boot with his foot still inside. |

The number varies from time to time as airframes enter restoration, or complete restoration or move to flight status. The current total of surviving B-17 bombers located in the United States stands at 40: Nine (9) B-17 planes are airworthy, such as "Texas Raiders", "Sentimental Journey" and "Aluminum Overcast".
rip air crew and any riders . Sad on many levels |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How did it happen, Can you give us a run through? P-51 clipped the B-17. Then the B-17 broke apart in half about at the waist gunner position. Back half of plane immediately fell to the ground. Front half tumbled and then hit the ground in a fireball. |

I couldn't see the Mustang in that video, unless it flew away after the strike.
