If the US gets stuck selling junk it can always rely on us to buy it😃

Nationalisation...sort of of Soviet style...how ironic😞

Perhaps they need to re think their design and performance criteria first.

I seem to remember that many years ago a DC-3 crop dusting in NZ managed to land minus most of one wing outboard of the engine after a midair collision. Probably mid seventies.
