Looks to be home-made.

Sounds like there is more room in the Tesla showroom at the King of Prussia Mall than that place. At KOP they typically have 2 whole cars you can get in and easily walk around, plus a bare chassis.

No way would I have engaged him in conversation in the first place.

Philadelphia, really? It's cute that he thinks this is going to get any traction or interest in a city where voters haven't elected a Republican as mayor in over 60 years and Democrats outnumber Republicans something like 7-1.

(Whoops, I didn't initially the horn beeping advice already mentioned!)

There are four lights... Er, PIPES!

Yeah I forgot about Aces Over Europe too! A friend had them running on his machine, a 486, 33 MHz box but I never was able to play on mine.

Remember the book that came with the earlier version of Tie Fighter?

I only really remember boot disks for Aces of The Pacific never working right, for some reason. Just about everything else I had around that time worked well.

I had them on floppies, later CDs.

I played on DOS/Win 3.1 Machine, a 75 MHz Pentium (later upgraded to 133!) with 8 MB of RAM and 1 MB video RAM. A whopping 650 MB of dish space, too! That was my first computer I got, in 1995. I spent a lot of hours gaming on that machine. I still have it, but it no longer works.

I loved playing Crimson Skies on PC. All except that damn auto aim I couldn't seem to turn off!

Meh. Seen better:

Apparently it was just a screw up on his part. Everyone involved is damn lucky to be alive.

Nightmare fuel, right here:

An P-51D painted as "Big Beautiful Doll" crashed and was totally destroyed in 2011 in England. That aircraft was built from the parts of several other aircraft. Here is a story written by the pilot of the aircraft in the 2011 crash: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

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.
