Since it was blown in by the wind, you can remove it.

He’s got a pretty good sized scar chart as is.

Nice landing.

The only pilot who successfully flew the Granville GB was Jimmy Doolittle who won the Cleveland air races and others in one. The plane was a widow maker

Fighter Plane LOL! Reporters are so stupid. I am in Oklahoma and can tell from here that the plane in the picture is not a fighter of any type, but is a trainer.

Type of plane that my late Father trained pilots in during WWII.

Tis always better to have a full tank and an empty bladder, rather than the other way around.

While on the golf green, Mr. Ford also received orthodontic care, psychiatric counseling and hedge fund advice.

Snort!

I know he’s a lefty, but I adore him. To me, he’s the last in the line of John Wayne and Gary Cooper - the last American MAN who became a movie star playing the American MAN. After him? A long string of little boys.

I knew a guy that in training crashed his plane into a golf course, his fighter handle became “Divot”

The Maytag Messerschmitt is a fun aircraft to fly but a difficult plane to land and taxi with power and a complete bitch without power. By design it has a higher stall speed to simulate landing a higher performance fighter like a P-40 of the time. Glad he survived without major injury. He needs to get a Stearman or a Pitts Speacial or an RV4 to fill his flying time.
