WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. (AP) – A Connecticut state official says at least five people have died in the crash of a World War II-era airplane. The official was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity. The B-17 carrying 13 people crashed Wednesday at Bradley International Airport as it was attempting to make an emergency landing soon after takeoff. The Collings Foundation confirmed the plane that crashed was the B-17 nicknamed the “Nine-O-Nine,” the same plane that crashed in August 1987 at an air show near Pittsburgh. In the 1987 incident, the bomber overshot a Pennsylvania runway while attempting to land at Beaver County Airport in gusty winds and plunged down a hillside as thousands of spectators were waiting for the show’s finale. The Federal Aviation Administration said three people were injured in the crash. The FAA said the plane’s airspeed was excessive and cited pilot errors. The foundation says damage to the plane was repaired, and it went on make more than 1,200 tour stops. The plane was named the “Nine-O-Nine” in honor of another B-17 of the same name that successfully completed 140 missions during World War II.(Photo: CNN)
