Re: video about prelim ntsb report on B17 crash

from the ntsb prelim report

. The approach controller verified the request and asked if the pilot
required any assistance, to which he replied no.

(afaik this means that the airport FD was not alerted at this time)

video about prelim ntsb report on B17 crash

https://youtu.be/5YN4QAdji7Y - 10 minute video

note - comment at other video - B17s can fly on 1 engine

magnetos on engine 4 were misfiring due to wet / damp weather

plane hit approach light 1000 feet before runway - hit ground 500 feet
before runway - veered 1000 feet to run and hit deice bld

ATC Audio of B17 crash at Hartford CT

https://youtu.be/SCgP41iqUrI

did not declare an emergency

fire trucks were told to use any runways - that message was from the
tower I presume - on the ground freq I imagine

it all happened very quick

note - the B17 used 2 freqs - tower and approach/departure
