    What was a 74 year old idiot doing flying a modified WWII fighter plane at speeds of 610 knots (530 mph) in the first place? As for the jerks who were supposed to replace the screws and obviously didn’t, I hope they were in the box seats when this plane crashed. The other issue that people frequently under-estimate is the stress that high speeds and jackass maneuvers put on airplanes.

      His age should have nothing to do with the plane coming apart and him crashing. Maybe you need to return to your porch, rocking chair and shawl, Jester.

    You take on some of the liability of the risk associated in attending these types of events when you buy the ticket.
