After Deadly Crash, Mass. Foundation Readies Another WWII-Era Bomber For Flight

The Massachusetts nonprofit whose World War II-era bomber crashed in October, killing seven, is seeking permission from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly tourists on another vintage plane of the same model, according to a summary of a phone call the agency released this week.

The Collings Foundation, of Stow, is readying a replacement Boeing B-17, the same kind of aircraft that went down in Connecticut three months ago, but work appears to be taking longer than the group expected.
