Pretty sure that was covered... IIRC, something to the tune of loss of brakes and rolling into something.

Back when that happened, someone had posted a photo on another site with her nose smashed in. The comment section below was full of "whats and wheres" with one speculator offering that the -17 had suffered a bird strike. With the lack of feathers and the amount of damage, I thought to myself, where did they find a pterodactyl to run into? :shock:

The new plexi nose on the B-17 looks fantastic. The guys in Columbus, MS do some outstanding work.

Witchcraft paint sure looks faded, wasn't the paint buffed out a while back.
