Another Warbird Crash

FLYBOYJ · Jul 19, 2007

This happened by Longmont Airport earlier this morning. The news said 2 people got out. I've seen this airplane (C-45) in the local area....

Hope that was all that were in there.

Last time I saw one of those it was all white with an international orange
trim. We called them SNB's. Hope everbody got out ok.

Hope and pray the crew got out OK. Other than that, it's sad when a warbird goes down. Another piece of history disappears. But except for the rarest aircraft, these warbirds belong in the air.

From what I have heard, that may be a CAF bird. Not good. I hope all aboard got out ok.

It was a CAF bird....

I guess it happened closer to Tri-Country airport which is about 10 miles south east of Longmont. I fly into both places frequently. This sucks!

What a shame

Gnomey · Jul 19, 2007

Another great shame, glad everyone got out OK.

Sad to see the demise of a plane but thats nothing as long as those on board are OK, people are far more unique and priceless than any piece of machinery.

Hopfully at minimum they can restore it to static display. I also hope every one is ok

Thorlifter · Jul 19, 2007

That would be something if they could. It looks pretty demolished in the front.

pbfoot · Jul 19, 2007

i think to restore it would cost more then its worth still hope the crew is well hate to see the bug smasher in such a state

Wildcat · Jul 19, 2007

Damn shame.

Soundbreaker Welch? · Jul 19, 2007

The wings look repairable.

Micdrow · Jul 19, 2007

At minimum maybe they can use it for parts for the restoration of a new aircraft.

AAA_leadsled · Jul 19, 2007

Hate to see that, hope everyone is ok.

Is the C45 the same as a Bamboo Bomber?

We have one that frequents alot of airshows here in SC for many years. Hope its not the same bird?

ToughOmbre · Jul 19, 2007

The Cessna T-50 was called the Bamboo Bomber.

Here is a link to info on the C-45/AT-11/UC-45/F-2/AT-7 Navigator/JRB/SNB/H-18

Can you tell this plane was used in many roles?!
