Sad. Why didn't they bail out? Did something go wrong at low altitude? Or did they not want to bail out because it was the last of it's kind?TX-KingsnakeWhite >+Commanding Officer

Poor guys. I bet he worked his butt off to get that piece of history down in one piece. Cost them their life... What a shamed for the sake of a 60 year old piece of steel that isn't even working right..... They had no chance with the glass noseS~TX-FlightRisk Black 3
