Country: | 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.

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!

Country:  | 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. | |
