Glyn, they are all ready………
Hi Glyn,
They have all ready set to go after the CAF as soon as their done with Lex. they want the SB2C they have also their are a # of aircraft that are out their that have un-certain early ownership problems that they want.
As for Lex know what he got himself into, weel he talk with the Navy and as I said in an earlier post the Navy did’nt give a Rats-Tushy.
It use to be real easy to deal with the Navy if you found something you gave them a call talk witht hem and if they did’nt want it then they gave you the OK, it was’nt till the present leadership at Washington Naval History Center and down at Pen. came in then things went South.
As for calling on boycott of Navy aircraft at Airshows its one of the Best PR things you can do. Let me but in this context. Say Reno and Oshkosh both cancel all Navy apperances and then go and have a Live Press Conferance covered by all the Bigies. The first qeustion thats going to be ask is why and the responce is that because of the Navys position towards the Warbird owners.
Then you go on to explain the USAF and US Army positions and how easy it is to deal with these Museums. That gets the press to start asking the Navy alot of hard questions, at the same time you talk about the TBD off Florida the PBM thast they wreck in Lk Washington you get where I’m going here the only way you can fight this to make the public call for changes.
Also by getting a petion started at Airshows going on thru-out the US you reach out to close to 50 million people if you can get just 1% to sign and turn these over to major Media outlets then that can be there helpful.
Remeber they started this War when they went after the guys up in Lake washington in the mid-80s, and believe me this is a War if we don’t win then this gives the Navy a free hand in going after anyone. they still believe that any aircraft that served in the Navy is theirs.
Cheers Rob
