[ARC5] B-17 Crash Near Hartford CT

[Tim]

It's being reported as the "nine-O-nine.  Very sad, probably full of fuel
at the time...

That A/C survived numerous nuclear airburst test at the Nevada Test Site
before being surplussed, flown out and restored...
(Dave - did you ever see it parked at the north end of the Yucca Lake
airstrip in Area 6?)
