Default So Long Liberty Belle

A total loss to this once proud warbird. Thank God the people got out safely with no injuries.

Wow, the crew was lucky to get out alive. Any word on what caused the fire?

I found out they were supposed give flights that Saturday (11 June), but foul weather prevented this. they could not fly on Sunday, because of mechanical problems. On Monday, June 13, the Liberty Belle took off for Indianapolis. 20 minutes into the flight, the #2 engine caught on fire. The pilot made an emergency landing in a cornfield, and all 7 crewmembers got out without so much as a bump.
