I have a different take on Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s conference. I’m not sure I heard him actually call for the grounding of all warbirds in so many words. What I DID hear was a self-serving “politic-speak/stump speech” about “I have ordered the NTSB to start an investigation” and “they report to MY committee”.
Just in case the Senator is reading this - you could have made all the calls you want - but they were going to investigate anyway. But that’s their job.
Against a rapidly developing situation with a clear potential for loss of life Sen. Richard Blumenthal sounded SO “self-serving Washington-speak” - that believe me - if he was my Senator - there is no way in h3ll I would ever vote for him again.
