Shut up.  It's a hunk of metal, that's all.  This isn't a good one, though after being sent a video it isn't nearly what I thought when I first was told what had happened by those who are there.

It's an airplane.  The history is with the man.  If you are talking about Jimmy Leeward and those who lost their lives then I agree.  if you are talking about the airplane, you miss the point.

i wasnt talking about the airplane, the men who flew them are what really made history. but the plane is a good chunk of history that went down with him sadly.

BS statement.  It's a highly modified race plane....nothing to do with history.

What is tragic is the loss of life.
