Just saw that the Collings B17 crashed at Bradley Field in Hartford CT. Check your local news media for details. It is a sad day for the families of the victims and also for those of us who love the WW II planes.

Sad, indeed. I saw that plane flying over my house when it visited Seattle several years ago.

It is sad, but is posted in the wrong section.

If you are such an expert, where would you post it?

Chit Chat. It is not photography related, it is sad news.

As described at the top of that section:

This section is for general chit-chat, current events, and other discussions not related to photography.

How is this sad news related to photography. This should be in chit chat because it's not photography related. How's that for charming...!?

You are not charming either. It's nice to see that the Section Police are on patrol. I feel so shielded. Whatever floats your boat Big Boy.

Besides the terrible loss of life, there are now only 9 air worthy Flying Fortresses remaining.

It is a heartbreak, and I don't remember seeing a B-17 in the last 10-20 years that was not surrounded by camera's. On that thought why don't we give it a pass?

Just a foot note, the "Champagne Lady" that is being restored at Grimes Field, Urbana Ohio, will be airworthy!

The post police are at it again; like it's the end of the world when something gets posted in the wrong section.

It is sad but inevitable that they will all be grounded eventually

Hm. In My copy of UHH it is in chit chat. What is with those that have to try to correct everyone? Seeking attention?

It's in General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk), which would be the right section. Where did you see it that caused you to post your response?
