Wow, guess we don't need to wait on the prelim on that one. Other than a control malfunction it's pretty obvious what happened.

Yep definitely looked like one in the stills. Round engines for sure. Sweet airplanes, sad all around.

Chalks was due to years and years of neglect and putting band-aids on sucking chest wounds.

FIFY.
