WHAT A BEAUTIFUL AIRCRAFT

Sad ending for this graceful bird on Oct.2,2019, near Hartford, Conn.

Blue Sky's 909

So sad. I am proud to say I rode on this classic in 2013 and have some great memories and pictures from that flight.

She flew over my house in Costa Mesa many times. I"ve walked through that very aircraft. It's miraculous that people got out. I'm dumbfounded how the guys could bail out in WWII when a 17 was in a spin. Vaya con dios.

What a sad day for Aviation history My condolences to those families who lost loved ones, best wishes to those who survived-i hope you all fly again.
I was fortunate t o fly on the "17" out of Hyannis , Mass for an hour in 2012, and will not hesitate to go up again in a vintage bird.
Many thanks to the Collings Foundation

I had the honor of taking a short flight on the 909 through the Collins Foundation. Great memory.
