    Default Plane crash at Centennial?

    Done anyone know if there was a small plane crash today at Centennial Airport? I was on 470 near 25 about 2pm and there was a small single engine aircraft about 500 ft over 470 struggling to stay up. Came really close to a few buildings on the south side of 470. It was able to get a bit of altitude to get back towards the airport, banked hard left and it looked like it dropped sharply. I lost sight soon after that.

    That's scary. I saw stuff like that sometimes when I worked over there, but I don't know enough about planes to know when something is actually struggling to stay up or just having fun.

    Nothing on the news. I work in the flight path for Centennial and I've seen some crazy stuff. Was hearing and seeing a B-17 coming in an out of there today.

    I was driving south on Wadsworth this morning by Rocky Mountain airport. I was right by the runway when a P-51 coming in to land flew right over me.
    That Merlin was spitting and popping as he idled it back to land.
    Awesome sight and sound.

    I think you could take a ride up in that B-17. Not sure if you had to pay for the ride but I imagine so.

    My wife works for Jeppesen and her office overlooks the runway and she didn't see anything.
