Interestingly enough many parts of the original straight-wing FJ-1 were based on the P-51. North American then used the basically unchanged wing of the FJ-1 as the basis for the T-2 Buckeye trainer.
But you guys knew that, you guys know everything.

BTW the accident in question is looking more and more like CFIT. Damn single engine airplane.

The whole wretched program has 'Political Influence' written all over it, because you really can't achieve this level of stupid.

I don't think there is any indication it was the pilots' fault and every other avenue needs to be exhausted before going there. I am sorry if you don't like my comments. Actually, hold that, I don't really care if you like my comments or not.
