If this recent crash is indeed a full-sized, non-replica, then I stand corrected.

Yes, the 2011 crash was a loss of more significance. Not this recent incident. The aircraft mentioned in this post was a scaled-down replica.

Whatever it looks like to you, the "real" "Big Beautiful Doll" that crashed in 2011 was completely destroyed and was itself built from the parts of other Mustangs. Nothing of any historical significance was lost.

It was a scaled-down model of a P-51. Nothing of historical significance was lost.

See here about the ongoing restoration of a P-61 that crashed into mountain in New Guinea:

However it's accomplished, ties should be impossible in the NFL. If MLB can avoid it in all but extreme situations, the NFL sure as hell can.

4) Cost has to come down. Initial costs, then fuel and maintenance costs. Which makes me think we don't have to worry too much about a sky full of personal aircraft (much like the way things are right now).

"where teammates called him a snitch"

If you can damage the hood on a consumer grade vehicle merely by opening it, something is wrong with the design.

Screwdrivers (or possibly a special set of pins?) to hold the hood open? That seems needlessly dangerous.

Ditto. Even our religion class was remarkably mundane compared to this nonsense.

And Christ on a stick that uniform is fucking hideous.

So where are the "tanks"?
