Eh.  Always looked to me like a real plane flew too close to the sun, and then pulled too many Gs.

But I recognize that people are often attracted to the misshapen.

I wonder how many survived the war and draw down afterwards. I'm thinking the draw down was far more hazardous than the combat was for them. Sad to see them gone.
