The newsworthy part is that it was flying long enough to crash somewhere different to where it took off from.

[-] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 60 points 5 days ago

-$100,000,000 of taxpayer dollars

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

This is not funny, please think about the fact that these planes only do that when they are under extreme distress.

[-] Llituro@hexbear.net 29 points 5 days ago

[-] Lavender@hexbear.net 15 points 5 days ago

Come on, I'll waste $100,000,000 better than this. At least it'll be almost as funny.

[-] mactan@lemmy.ml 16 points 5 days ago

was surprised the announcer said it over the loudspeaker, at EAA it was supposed to do a demonstration but both the show vehicle and the backup had a last minute problem and couldn't fly

[-] Torenico@hexbear.net 16 points 5 days ago

Well, that's one way of landing your aircraft...

[-] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 days ago

Hilarious our "fighter jets" keep dropping like flies...without even being in combat.

"No way our enemy can shoot this down!"

They don't have to bro.
