B-17 GATHERING & SCALE BIG-BIRD FLY-IN - Monaville, Texas. 9/16/2011
I got this shot of a large scale B-17 crashing during landing. He probably should have cut power after the first bump but he attempted to go around when it began veering off the runway. Too slow, flaps down, wind gust, not enough power, and the steep angle put him in a stall and...well...you see the rest.
Noo!
It was such a beautiful plane.
Inexperience of the pilot. He has already made the landing.

So sorry to see this! Building a Wingspan Models 1/9th scale and I hope I never experience this! Hope it's repaired and ready to take flight again!!
