The P-400 was actually described as "A P-40 with a Zero on it's tail."

I'm glad the pilot made it out ok.  Hope everyone on the ground is well.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

All Adonai ribbing aside (which he deserves), I'm glad all are safe and noone was hurt.   Looks like the pilot did the best he could to minimize collateral damage as it were.
