What a damn shame that is. 
No one has probably seen a photo of a B-17 burning in a field like that since they were operational in WW2.
Great to see everyone got out before the fire got out of control.

Oh boy that is just devastating
I can't imagine what those young airmen went thru back in WW2.This scene must have been all too familiar to those that survived. Great to see the crew got out.
And to those who didn't get out all those years, you will not be forgotten

Looks like a fantastic job on the emergency put down .
Such a shame seeing the old girl looking in that state. I know there's only a handful that are flyable and countless hours go into keeping them airborne.
A terrible loss of a piece of history.

big issue was that they had no fire warning apart from the T-6 flying nearby. Seems to have started behind the firewall where the exhaust runs from a fuel leak...
Good job..
