Re: Mustangs lost
No, I have not elevated myself, I just have an education. It is obvious you have not, judging by your statements. Those aircraft were designed to particular specifications with the then current technical knowledge and with obvious limitations to handling and maintenance. They need a lot of experience in service, and this gets limited due to quantity of pieces in use and increasing costs. Those aircraft were tricky and dangerous then, and they still are. Even the best pilots with the best maintenance get killed and it is simply unavoidable.
I do not mention all the issues with getting an old aircraft to the air as it is another lengthy subject of itself. |
