Dam shame
Keith
I saw the footage on the news tonight, what a shame she certainly was a survivor, well if she had to go she went out with a bang, thank goodness all the crew survived and no one was hurt. I will certainly have to have another viewing of the "Mephis Belle" DVD. Tony

Not very many left that are air worthy now. Think the world-wide count is 13 total.
My wife had the opportunity to fly on this fort when it toured Texas a couple of years ago. They would take seven passengers up and allow them to move around to the various crew positions once at a level cruising altitude. A sad loss of history.
