That Skyraider was the last of the propeller-driven war planes. It would cap off an exhibit of the long history of such planes perfectly, but the right of the people to keep and bear arms being infringed takes precedence with our stinking US government.

If they destroy it, after all the court cases, when the ATF is found to be wrong, the man who signs off on the destruction should be F’n executed.
Just sayin’

They’re afraid of us having air cover when …

Why, it can be easily converted! Just a few cuts here, some welds there, the addition of machine guns and bombs, and it’s a menace!

ATF run amok. This is what happens when the Dems are in charge.

Hey, he imported it from FRANCE.
How could it possibly be dangerous? More likely it surrendered to ICE on its own, at the first opportunity….
That said, those were some awesome planes for close support of ground troops. The amount of armaments they carried was unbelievable, and the video I have seen of them doing their jobs in Vietnam is stunning.

The point is, this is an airplane. It is not a firearm, it CAN CARRY a firearm. ATF has no jurisdiction, and should be smacked down hard.

I’ll add that ICE and ATF are in bigger trouble than they realize. Anyone with the funds for a warbird has the funds for a legal fight.

You know, extrapolating from MS Flight Simulator models of airplanes that I have actually flown, I’ve developed a pretty good feel for which MSFS models are in some sort of reality-ballpark. (I kept crashing the shit out of an F-105 model until Ed Rasimus sent some numbers along and they worked.)
From all that, I deduce that the Able Dog must’ve been one hell of a lot of fun to fly when people weren’t trying to kill the one flying it. Designed by the legendary Ed Heinemann, it was the last and best practical extension of pre-WW II fighter-bomber logic into the jet age , and it just has to be a big-time gas to cruise around in that thing. God bless Mr. Hendrickson and rot the sonsofbitches putting him through this.

They’ll fight this for all their worth, ok,ok, way more than their worth or the plane would never have been seized. They are so wrong and will look so idiotic when it is discovered that their was no armament of any kind, therefore not under ATF’s even illegal jurisdiction. I expect them now to declare it AOW and try to make it stick so they can say “hey, we were right”.
