Your Sunday Morning Jet Noise

No noise, this week, but where else are you going to see a turboprop-powered B-17?


From the titles, that footage was shot in July, 1970. That turboprop B-17 crashed the following month during the pull-up of a drop run, killing both pilots and destroying the airplane.

The NTSB summary makes short but interesting reading. Mushed into terrain at a density altitude of 13,000 after a downhill, downwind pass. Does 8000 hours seem low for a 52 y-o pilot in this sort of job? Or is that just a function of less flying back then?
