Neither. Just not very good, nor really fitting for the theme of
Halloween. Halloween is about ghosts, ghouls, witches on brooms,
spiders, and weird icky creatures. It's not really steeped in reality,
but in a visceral sense of what we dread.

How about just in poor taste? I don't like to see stuff like this
because it makes light of a horrible situation, that unfortunately
happens all too often. Jim may have read into the display's intent a
little too far, just like Peter D's deconstructing the meaning of
Halloween in his rebuttal. I'm just not comfortable with what I see as
sensationalizing something as terrible as a jet crash. Some things
shouldn't be taken lightly IMO.

Now, if he had a few witches on brooms crashed into trees, being pursued
by a ghost in a C-172, which also crashed into a tree, that would work.

Or, an effigy of a certain Chicago mayor on a broom being chased by
armed Skyhawks... aviation-themed humor at its best
