    Looks like the other plane was a p39 or p63. Sad day.

    I was sure the P-63 was behind the B-17 as they came over.... actually lowered my phone trying to figure out what I was seeing...

    I used to work avionics, USAF type. I wonder if they had ACAS? When FAA mishap reports comes out it will tell us the whole story.
