Dan,

What I'm talking about is that yes alot of peolpe in their 20's and 30's belong to Musuems and help out with warbird owners but how many of these Museums have a program set up so if the person has the right amount of time can start flying these planes.

A simple program to set up but it seems like when the subject is brought up many of these museums and owners change the subject. Yes I know its expensive to own and operate these aircraft but I do'nt see anyone reaching out to the next generation of pilots. Also Graham O had a nice essay in the latest issue of Classic Warbirds I suggest all to read it. I know that I'm going to reach out to teenagers to get them invovled with hikes and working at airshows.

I'm not condemming the whole warbird group just a few who think just because they have money they can stop projects from going forward.

Yes like you Dan I'm not rich but I was brought up around these aircraft and it just drives me crazy to see this stuff go on.

Cheers Rob
