Does anyone remember that B-29 incident where a restored example was being flown out of the Arctic or somewhere,it taxied and a tank exploded,cut the fuselage in two,seconds before it could easily have been airborne,they spent months working on her and one of the crew was ill with cancer and passed away,a sad business from start to finish.Comment
