Love seeing the N9MB enjoying the sky!!! Keep her flying Planes Of Fame!
You can’t anymore,it’s gone
@@cecileandaya4269 Sadly yes, I know. So sad that the pilot David Vopat lost his life.
Jack Northrop would've been proud to see this restored and in flight.
This is such a beautiful video he lived for this "Wing" she is so lovely and a true bird -bless you Sir .
Makes me cry. Especially the heritage flight. I was down in the smoker section watching this.
I saw it fly in Chino on 2014, amazing aircraft; terrible loss of pilot and aircraft, RIP sir.
thank you, I'm very sad to see this beautiful bird, the last of its kind to be destroyed, and of course the pilot with it
so wonderful love the plane
stay safe
wonderful, I would like to fly it...I fly with a Swift in the thermals !
Beautiful!
What a treasure.
Now gone 😢
RIP brother
Tragic loss of both man and machine. May he fly forever in the Kingdom of God.
Both pilot and plane, now sadly gone.
museum officials stated it was 1 of their 4 pilots that work for the museum..
damm.. that plane reminds me of the indiana jones german plane :)
3:24 was it possible to move or control these slot flaps? i bet these were not hinged without a good reason
Awesome. one of the only reasons I want to go to California is to see this plane. any one know what the music is?
The song is titled:

Tom Dozier Thank You

With no vertical fins and two engines, one each some distance from the centreline, it'd be a nightmare on one engine.
Sad. Life cut short of a fine pilot and nice looking young man. Failure of engine, torque converter, or possible thrown prop. Few twins are managable with an engine out, especially this one!
"Few twins are manageable with an engine out?" The Baron, Twin Bonanza, Cessna 310, 414, King Air and Diamond Twin were all pretty manageable on one engine to me.
@@crooked-halo And DC-3s, too. I meant to say those with far, off centerline twins. Look how far apart the engines were on the N9M.
@@f4udhorn Sure, I agree. The twins I've flown are friendly single engine. This flying wing was surely more challenging single engine, as evidenced by the crash with a highly-experienced pilot. Most twins are manageable on one engine if you're trained. Training is key, as every twin is different on one engine. But all the twins I've flown (not many) are pretty benign with one fan turning. Haven't flown a DC-3 (yet), but I've heard they're pretty good single engine if lightly loaded.
RIP
