I remember as a child hearing that the T-6 was most often used as “Japanese” aircraft in Black Sheep Squadron.

RIP Greg “Pappy” Boyington, one of my personal favorite WWII heroes.

That’s twice in the last week. Now everyone is going to be landing on the highways.

I got to drive right past on the way back from work.
I was lucky the delay was only about 15 minutes for me as the crash was maybe 8 miles down the road towards LA.
Traffic backed up for miles for people going north from LA.
Once I was in the San Fernando valley I came across lines of cars of people snaking their way to the 118 freeway to go around the 101. Long loop around. I saw the traffic before leaving and choose to go south as it was all green a mile past the plane and wide open.

Apparently the Condor Squadron has a whole bunch of the AT-6s:

Well, I guess that’s a “good landing”.

That will make the already nasty gridlock going north really ugly. No way around it to speak of other than some very narrow road paralleling the freeway, or way the heck over the hills to the coat highway and back over at Kanan or thereabouts..

Brutal traffic. Horrific. Thankfully I missed it by a few hours.
