I wonder if the B17 was part of this group:

They advertised for rides Nov 11, 12, 13

Yep. That’s the plane, AFAIK. It was a well known restoration job decades ago. There are very few B-17’s still flying so, aside from the human cost, this is just a horrible loss.

It is my understanding that this B-17 was indeed the Texas Raider, but was not carrying any passengers at the time. There were 5 crewmembers on board at the time of the incident.
