It’s a trainer for pilots around WWII, not now. IOW, it’s not a genuine warplane, so no real huge loss as if it were a P-51 or P-38.

“It’s a trainer for pilots around WWII, not now. “

Yeah. I know. I learned to read in 1950...first grade.

But having pilot experience, the first thing THEN, and the first thing NOW, in flying, is to WATCH YOUR FUEL.

If I ever got down to 1/2 tank, I found a place to land, and buy fuel. I would have been even more careful if I was flying a vintage, irreplaceable, aircraft.

Thanks for the, er, heads up.
