Most people don't insure a warbird in Australia because the owner is usualy the guy that built it.And he will be the one to repair it.I friend of mine paid $13,000 AU for his insurance he tells me next year he won't insure it.He will spend the money on fuel.I think also modern airforcr pilots should be restricted from flying warbirds,they seem to lack what earlier pilots or GA pilots have.I see recently at an airshow a pilot tried a roal with the flaps down in an A37 it came out of the manouver below tree level.Unlike modern fighters the gear and flaps are seperate.
