I didn't realize the Confederacy had an air force. How the hell did they lose the war?

This plane crash happened just a couple of hours from me. Had to take a detour in my travels because they closed the highway due to the fire. There wasn't as much smoke today (barely any, actually) as there was on Tuesday evening. Hopefully that is a good sign.

There are tons of older WWII planes at <a href=http://www.commemorativeairforce.org target=_new> the Confederate Air Force</A>. I guess they're now the Commemorative AF...PC strikes again. Check them out if you're ever in South Texas. It's a great museum.

Or in Southern California, at the airport of the pleasant little town of Camarillo (pronounce it in Spanish; it's named after an old-timey rancher by the name of Adolfo Camarillo). They have an F8F, two C-46s, and about one and a half B-25s. Recently, they picked up an F6F and a P-38, moved in from another facility that shut down. In two pieces, they have an A6M2 Zero.
