Hi Rob!

We try to attend as much fly-ins and airshow that we can, but with a limited numbers of pilots qualified on the Warbirds, we cannot make them all or bring all the aircraft (money also counts in it). Also, in the summer, we spend every Saturday at the hanger with the door opened and one or two aircrafts outsides, may it be the Pilatus, the Harvard or the Focke-Wulf. We're always glad people jump over the fence to come and see the aircraft, we never turned anyone around. When I'm at an airshow/fly-in and I sepak to someone who's really in love with everything that flies but isn't able to fly them (for any reasons), I get him over the fence and onto the wing to peak inside the cockpit. I really love to come in at one place and have people ask about the aircrafts, sharing is one if the great aspects of flying!
