La Ferté-Alais B-25 down. Crew OK - Key Publishing Ltd Aviation Forums

Permission to swear outloud??

triple f-word and a lot more where that came from

Darn! That's three crashes now - the B17, the Goodyear 'blimp', and now a B25. Let's hope the 'bad luck comes in threes' thing is now over.

A B-25 and a B-17 down in less than two weeks?
I am swearing as I'm writing this, not fair damn it!!!

In less than 2 days. Terrible, but once again, good the crew got out alright.

I am glad to hear the crew survived. What is the condition of the plane? I was planning to take a ride in the B-25 here in Mesa, Arizona sometime next year. My wife may make me rethink that after she finds out. Damn!

 

[vikingBerserker]

That just makes me cringe!

Shite!

What the...??

Good to hear the crew got out safely, but man...this isn't going to help the argument to keep 'em flying any.

As far as perishing in a warbird crash, I think that a person would have a far greater chance of being hit by lightning twice on the same day that they win the super-lotto...

Un avion s'est crashé ce mardi 31 mai vers 17 h 30 près de l'aérodrôme de Melun-Villaroche (Seine-et-Marne), entre Moissy-Cramayel et Réau.

Crash happened on May 31 2011.

Looks like it will probably become a hanger queen.

My mistake! I translated the article, but didn't pay attention to the date.

Its a French owned plane and the french can be beautifully stubborn when it is about vintage airplanes. So fingers crossed i will fly again.

This Mitchell was supposed to attend the airshow here, in Pardubice, Czech Republic on June 4 and 5. And it crashed few days before.
Anyhow, Liberty Belle is over blue yonder now while this B-25 will get back into flying condition...

Shite!

shite from me too.
well bad luck
I'm very sorry that another warbird has crashed. It doesn't make the case for displays any easier if the H&S people think that warbirds are 'unsafe'..
bad week

First the B-17 and now this B-25. A terrible week for Warbird Aviation.

I saw this one fly in Stuttgart 2 years ago. Beautiful plane. Any word on whether this one is restorable?

Here are some pics I took of the aircraft back in 2009:

Chris, B-25 crash landed on May 31, 2 weeks ago. They say they will get it back in the air but it will last a while...

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Several weeks ago. I did not hear about this. I thought it just happened recently.

I agree. Could you tell my wife that for me? Actually she will probably come around to letting me do it, there will just be a lot more conversation about it now.

Not a great week as has already been said. Good to see that everyone got out safety. From the pictures she looks in slightly better shape than the B-17 but no doubt that is the close to the end of her flying career.

Yes, its a shambles whichever way you look at it and a real shame.
