Very well said…
Kittyhawk, If you want to enjoy the warbirds and lose that chip then go and help a cause that is short of money.
Are you saying that Ellie has loads of money just sitting around for her B17, that Russ spent all that time on Black 6 when he could have gone out and paid someone to sort it all out.
We all love warbirds and share them as a club. I for one am just grateful that these people have the genorosity to share these aircraft with us. As you said they could crash them. Maybe ruin a national treasure. So what do you suggest?
They are these peoples personal property, maybe they should lock them in a hangar never to see the light of day or the public see them. You really are narrow minded if you think this is the best way.
That some individuals have enough money to preserve these aircraft and then the good will to show them for our pleasure if a gift that we should be grateful to have. If they ask for some help financially through airshows we should show we are grateful for there commitment by buying tickets and by supporting them.
The saying goes ‘ how do you make a small fortune in aviation’
‘Start with a large one!’
Its true believe me.
