I first put that as "Confederate" Air Force unit, but then I checked, and "Confederate" has been changed to "Commemorative." I guess that must have been recently. When they changed the name.
SAME as the PBY/Catalina....I'be flown a cat and sat in a Boeing..mostly after chopping my left leg off at the knee, using a chainsaw to take my left arm off and actually grab the controls then leaning out the window to ask for a splint because I broke my ankle trying to hit the rudder peddles.
Those old things are like trying to play Mario-Cart with airplanes...
Go ahead, get in a Canso...see how well YOU do with a left leg shoved up your azz.
The pic pulls you in, but folks should read the "story" produced by the "author".
The msm should be held accountable for the aire of hate that is upon us. That is why forums, neighbors, friends, and anything else good is in such a fever of hate we are in today. It is not leftist members or right wing members that are at eachother's throats, it is everybody. CHAOS is and has been created, fed, and now welcomed into our homes with open arms. The msm are killing us.
....and there are less than a dozen of them still in airworthy condition anywhere in the world.
Id say thats not bad for a warplane thats 80 years old. The costs to restore or maintain them is the reason there are not many, not a scarcity. While lots were shot down, ill have to say that it took a hell of a lot of damage and still stayed in the air. Ive seen pics of them with 1/2 a tail or wing gone, 3 engines out...and still return from a mission. My dad flew in them and B24 Liberators. B24s went down with 1/2 the damage as a B17.

For sure the media. I wouldn't even say in most place people by and large are actually anything like what the media keeps preaching, yet. But you know what they say, if you repeat a lie long enough they'll eventually believe you.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
