13 Survive C-47 Crash

Thirteen people aboard Bluebonnet Belle, a well-known Commemorative Air Force C-47, escaped after the aircraft crashed on takeoff at Burnet Airport near Austin, Texas, on Saturday. The aircraft was on a flight to AirVenture 2018 when it seemed to struggle to get airborne from a three-point attitude (C-47s normally take off tail high), banked right and slewed left before crashing on the infield. The aircraft caught fire and was destroyed.
