: Hi All,
:
: I thought I should comment on what Ryan Short mention. Fir
: st alittle background on the NHR it was concived to preser
: ve and protect Historical lands a buildings IE Gettysburg
: battle ground The old North Church. In 1966 the first adme
: ntment was installed this allowed for certain Motorized it
: ems to be include. In 1993 the second admendment was intru
: duce to protect certain WWII sites.
:
: Now the 1966 act is the one that TIGHAR and other includin
: g the US Navy have try to use and each time a federal judg
: e has thrown it out when challange. I'm not going to get i
: nto the meat of the 66 act but it basically states that on
: ly certain types of Historically Vechiles can be included
: these are the aircraft that are listed as of Summer of 200
: 3.
:
: 1 The Wright Flyer 2 Spirt of St.Louis 3 The Enola Gay 4 B
: ox Car 5 The X-1
:
: Thats it many others have been ask to be included but eac
: h time they have been regect for variuos reasons. Now the
: 93 act TIGHAR try to use to have all Warbirds that were le
: ss then 5 know included regardless if they were privatly o
: wned or not. this did'nt even make to court.
:
: As you can tell its next to impossiable to get an Aircraft
: listed or matter of fact any vechile.
:
: So the chances that any judges is going to rule that a Com
: bat record warbird should be listed on the NHR is slim to
: none. The onlty one I can think is former George Bushs TBM
: if it is ever found and restored.
:
: Cheers Rob
