I love old machinery. Warbirds, anything steam powered, treadle driven sewing machines, you name it. This crash report caught my attention, and then I learned about the Bluebonnet Belle DC-3 crash from 2018, caused by inexperience with flying a twin engined tail dragger carrying max weight. Then October this year a B-25 got severely damaged in a forced landing apparently caused by a fuel delivery problem.
The whole industry needs to step back and redo everything maintenance, ops and training, or frankly we won't get to see this stuff fly at all. This involves the CAF and whoever operates the B-25 "Old Glory"
Sorry for the gloom. I guess I need to just deal with the new techy stuff.
