It was saddening to hear of that crash. hopes and prayers for those lost. Two years ago we were living in West Dennis with no clothes washer, went to Hyannis to the laundromat while my wife went to the hair dresser there. I went outside while the clothes soaked and sat on the bed of my truck, then I heard a loud roar, looked up and the B-17 and escort came rumbling into Hyannis AP. Was a very humbling thing. My dad was alive and asked if he'd like to go see the ships, maybe take a flight in the bomber. Nope, he'd heard from older friends , one a tail gunner, about their sorties, couple other pilots. Scarred the Be-Jesus out of him I guess. He did his stuff in the AF, that was enough, but those planes coming into Hyannis, man what a thing. brought tears to my eyes that day.
