Rob remember this isn't exactly the USAF doing this. Yes I know that this is the US AIR FORCE museum but the museum tends to do its own thing.
I'm not giving details or names but they have heavily opposed the Collings F-4 in the past so this stuff about the CAF isn't surprising. I do find it interesting that they are chasing aircraft they gave up posession of 30 years ago.
What I also find really interesting is how they can apply rules to an aircraft that were changed years after they relinquished ownership of the airplane. The article said the T-39 was sold in 93 but it now doesn't comply with rules changed in 97. Of course it doesn't...it shouldn't have to.
This whole issue is definately interesting.
