Godspeed patriots.
Regardless of how one feels about various aspects of this (and my reservations are well known) those jokes would be unwarranted.
Nothing to joke about here. Two military personnel have lost their lives.
Prayers for their souls, and their families and loved ones.
There are landing strips and farm fields all over Baldwin Co. Would appear some catastrophic event happened with the plane that they couldn’t set it down somewhere.
...
That’s two families of children that’ll never happen. What kind of society kills its little girls for military use?
Women! I knew it.
I was a an Air Force trainer instructor in the T-37, which was replaced by this plane. At the Pentagon, I worked on procuring the T6 as the replacement for the T-37. I’ve flown in this plane twice, it has an ejection seat. Extremely stable, designed to safely spin upright and inverted; spinning is part of the curriculum.
I don’t follow this plane closely, but the only known double death I know in training was in the T-37, and that one also had two women. The cause was lack of commitment to a decision the instructor made.
Well, with the reward there are always risks.
We are not promised tomorrow.
