Title: Sad Day in History
Post by: Steve Dwyer on October 02, 2019, 03:31:10 PM

A very sad day to find we lost another B-17 following today's accident at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut. I recall standing under the bomb bay looking up inside thinking what a grand old ship she was when flown into Syracuse years back by the Collins Foundation for a Warbird tour. Pray for the occupants.

 That indeed is sad, and some lives were lost, but the reason that I am replying is because you asked for prayer and that is something that we don't do enough of any more, and as  Christian I hate that this isn't done anymore, lets start doing that now and don't stop!!!

 Thanks for posting and asking for the Prayers...
