Competition sure was fierce in those days. Shot down by a bazooka, I'd say.

If man were meant to fly, God would have given him wings. Anyone caught trying to do so shall be smited verily.

I just noticed something in that picture  ;D

Looks like they already pre dug the grave plot for the pilot of that burning flyer. Why is there a Tombstone just to the left of the pic casting the shadow!  :o

I think that's a distance marker of some sort.  I remember readiing about it in one of the description/historical writings in FS9.

Maybe They were just prepared for all future situations!
