So I’m watching the parade with my kids, and the Air Force comes up with these fun little planes, two F16s and a P51. But as somewhat of a military aviation buff, I immediately noticed something wrong with the Mustang...
Reads cowling... looks at pilot...
Hmmmmm

Too bad they didn’t also Google Tuskegee Airmen.

So much wrong is one picture. Besides the white dude in a Tuskegee “P51". The scale is comically ridiculous, the unit identification is wrong, and the potential for some guy to become a pink mist when running into the propeller.

That’s really cool, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Just seems disrespectful to me to put a white guy in a plane that’s supposed to represent the Airmen, at least in the context of a public outing without the story to accompany it, because there’s a ton of people out there who have no idea. Great program they have though.

OK, well this guy is going to have a hard time being especially black otherwise:
I mean you could argue it would be better optics to have this guy fly the P-51:
But there are problems with that too.
