I know our group down here in Houston with the Collings Foundation has picked up quite a few people who are now helping out with maintenance things and the like. Some just want to work on an old airplane. Yes the A&Ps do the majority of it or at least supervise and sign off but we've picked up a fair amount of people willing to work on them, none of which are even close to their 80s.

With the F-4 we also picked up several folks that used to work on them in the Air Force.

In my opinion the greatest problem facing them nowadays in indeed insurance, the dummies in government trying to stop them, and then pilot training. After seeing what I did on Saturday I kind of have mixed emotions as to how they should be flown from here on out.
