While everyone enjoys a classic warbird, there's a certain kind of buyer who looks fondly at the "Twin Mustang" of yore, one of the USAF's last piston fighters to serve.
Truthfully, the XP-82 isn't quite as simple as a conjoined Mustang, despite its looks. Originally designed to provide fighter coverage to long-ranged bomber sorties, the XP-82 (later F-82 upon adoption) was born into the waning years of prop fighters. SpaceX expressed exasperation over the state of Flight 5, noting that "Starship and Super Heavy vehicles for Flight 5 have been ready to launch since the first week of August." The Flight 5 test will include their "most ambitious objective yet: attempt to return the Super Heavy booster to the launch site and catch it in mid-air." On September 10, a Delta Airbus A350 and an Endeavor Bombardier CRJ900 were involved in a collision on the ground at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The FAA reported that Delta Air Lines Flight 295 was taxiing for departure when its wingtip struck the vertical stabilizer of Endeavor Air Flight 5526, which was stopped on a nearby taxiway. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!
