    I don't mean the show itself. I mean having civilians pay money to pack into a WWII bomber and fly them around for 30 mins.

    The Collings foundation counts on a lot of doner support and they just finished up a brand new building not long ago.

    I'm not certain what all the waiver said before I signed to fly in the B-24 but at least 1 person died on the ground. I would bet that person's family will be contacting an attorney in the next few days.

    Liability should be no different than any other aviation crash. That's why we all carry insurance, or should. Of course everyone riding signs a waiver, but it won't stop a good lawyer from getting something from the insurance policy.

    I doubt they’ll stop giving rides in vintage aircraft. It’s a part of history that people are willing to pay for to enjoy and maintain the flyability of the aircraft

    Such a tragedy.
    Glad so many of us got to see her fly in/out, physically touch and maybe take the $5.00 walk thru and some even got to fly in her.

    Some great memories I will never forget.

    I rode in 909 back in 1987.
    Here's something I found about her history...

    Built in 1944, it was too late to be used for WWII. It performed air-sea rescues for about a decade, then in the 1960s it was used as a fire bomber.

    Collings Foundation purchased it in 1986 and restored it to look like the original 909, a bomber used in Europe toward the end of WWII.

    Looks like they touched down with the gear down in the approach path grass and couldn’t get it straight and under control before running out of room.
