A vintage fighter plane that saw action during WWII and the Korean War crashed into a parking lot during a re-enactment show in Texas. Two people died in the incident.
The P-51 Mustang went down on Saturday in Fredericksburg, Texas, during the WWII Pacific Combat Program event organized by the National Museum of the Pacific War. The museum later confirmed on Twitter that both passengers on the plane, one of which was a military veteran, had been killed.
============================================
There are people & museums that collect vintage military aircraft & then there are people who insist in flying them, either for sport or for demonstrations at air shows, as in this case. I have a basic problem with the people that fly these aircraft because the number remaining is getting smaller. I feel that they should all be in museums for the enjoyment & edification of current & future generations.
