Do you mean an aerial version of Churchill's Dunkirk?
I already suggested Spirit Airlines volunteer.

I may take a cartoonist's POV too soon after tradgedy but I do agree that invectives like rag head and sand nigger are shameful.
Tonight I watched Trump in Alabama, currently hobbled by a health crises, got his biggest cheer and chants when he said "Everything woke is shit". I guess the the word shit amused the maskless crowd most.

i also noted how he changed history in the retelling of his most embarrassing moments. His 'ramp moment' was retold as "It was raining and slippery" }I watched a dry and sunny day. He made fun of Biden falling on steps with his still broken foot. He evoked the the image of a veteran quadruple amputee to support his Afghanistan policy and applause line.

He lost attention on the retelling of the big lie and reclaiming democracy for his own.
