The World War II-era B-17G Flying Fortress bomber nicknamed the “Nine-O-Nine,” which was part of the Wings of Freedom tour that visited Henderson, Nevada in April 2019, crashed Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019 at Connecticut’s Bradley International Airport killing seven of the thirteen onboard.
The B-52H “Iron Butterfly” that flew in last week’s Red Flag air combat exercises at Nellis Air Force Base was built in 1960.
