• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

OT: Another tragic loss this weekend.....P-51 down

Time to take a few of these planes that helped win WWII & lock them behind plexiglass so they will be preserved for the future. Not all of them tho; we still need to hear that beautiful sound when they are running wide open.
 
Terrible tragedy especially for the families and friends.

I would like to know what happened too. I am always afraid they (the FAA or other government agency) will ground WWII and older War birds out of a sense of they know what is best and they need to protect everyone. I may be a little cynical. If so, sorry.

I disagree entirely.
I was not alive yet during WW2, and certainly do have an interest in those aircraft. But seeing them in museums does little for me, compared to seeing them actually flying. This is where aircraft belong. Up in the air flying.


My thoughts and prayers to the families involved.
