Sammy's point is very well taken. If insurance costs keep going up flying museums will be able to flying smaller numbers of aircraft. This would also reduce the number of individuals that could dig deep enough to start operating that Warbird they have been restoring out of their garage for the last 25 years.
I do remember reading someplace in the last year or so that AvGas is starting to become harder to find. Is this an issue?
And what about Warbird Jets. As time goes by will be see less and less on the air show circuit? Do jet engines become much more expensive and difficult to maintain than piston engines as time goes on?
Looking for some informed answers.
Good topic Scott.
