Plane crash scene

A vintage World War II bomber crashed and burned in a field southeast of Aurora Municipal Airport, but the seven people on board escaped without injury, according to aviation officials. The plane, a B-17 known as a "Flying Fortress," took off from the airport at 9:30 a.m. and went down about three or four miles from Aurora about 20 minutes later, according to Elizabeth Isham Cory, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
