the bad news continues.

The Highland Lakes Squadron of the CAF's Douglas C-47 Skytrain "Bluebonnet Belle" crashed during takeoff. Several injuries reported, but all 13 onboard were able to evacuate the aircraft.

Video of the incident. Caution: strong language.

So sad to hear that she's gone. I had the chance to shoot her at night back in 2014
