Plane crash Bradley Airport Windsor Locks Connecticut

Vintage aircraft  crashes. I am reading about a B-17 that crashed .

Looking like runway 06 threshold area from the live feed. Airport is closed. I'm hoping for the best for the injured, apparently 3 taken to hospital at his time.

For sure Choc. Looks like the plane crashed into a fuel farm by what i am reading, and live feed. Let's pray for the best from all of this.

Wonder if it is Sentimental Journey. Been on her many times when she visits Greenville SC.

A "Collings Foundation" owned aircraft, is all I can get at the moment. Now the count is 6 taken to hospital. Dam.

Just reading in another aircraft website,and it states , the plane is the Nine O Nine .

Thay doesn’t look like a fuel farm. Looks like deicing fluid storage and deicing trucks.

Horrible news and the photos don't look good.  My son just texted me that he's heard reports of 2 fatalities.

I see Nine-0-Nine almost every year as it almost always makes a tour through my part of the country.  I've been in it many times.  This is heartbreaking.

Yes, watching the press conference right now and it is indeed heartbreaking. One airport worker was a victim (not sure if injured or fatal at this time). And it was the deicing area it struck.

Thanks for the info  Kevin, and Choc. The initial report came in that the plane hit fuel storage. Either way , today is a sad day in aviation.

I know they sell short rides on those old birds and they are quite expensive. Hope that's not the case here.
