Scott,

Good topic...We kick it around often. My own gut feel is #1 Feds and public pressure, #2 insurance robbers and #3 fuel/mechanical but this last item can be overcome with ingenuity. I hope....pray I'm wrong but I give it 7-10 years when the final Merlin or R-2800 powered warbird roars to life for the last ferry flight to be pithed to it's pin board in some dusty museum. Even if I'm wrong on my estimate the date is relatively close....enjoy every minute of 'em while you can!
