WTF is with all the plan crashes these days?

Are the Chinese haxoring guidance systems now or something?

Damn...those are the most beautiful jets. Amazing to see at an airshow.

 

[Pocatello]

Ouch. I hope the pilot is OK.

God... this is as poorly written as the one that turned out to be fake yesterday or the day before.

These are simply the worlds most beautiful weapons of war.

A true loss. 🙁

 

[shocksyde]

Are these not insured?

Disagrees.

The probability of such a plane taking off from a treadmill is about .99999... to 1

I hope the pilot made it.

The loss per taxpayer is a little more than a dollar each, so no big deal.

That's such a great way to look at it.

"At $150 million apiece, the F-22A is the most expensive Air Force jet."

Guess the B-2 doesn't count?

What irks me is all the fact that we use all this money (millions of dollars each year) to build devices of war, instead of peace and love.

It's ok, with the AIG bonus clawed back, the government can buy another.

A device of love is a dildo.
