If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

you at least kept the flying goggles, right?
Wondering if the choice of an F4U for the plane was deliberate? I thought I recalled the Corsair had a nasty habit of eliminating pilots who bailed out via tail plane impacts, but couldn’t find any supporting data. Anyone know/remember?
The Corsair probably was the most common USN prop fighter in the late `40s, when the film was made.
I would see why the Corsair would be dangerous in that regard: thanks to some kludges in its development phase, the cockpit was way aft and pretty close to the tail.
