Why is it that certain warbird people think that the owners have an obligation to display their airplanes? Then when they do, and want to charge a fair price, they get criticized? Twenty bucks isn't much, Fantasy of Flight is more. They both are well worth it. I for one am happy that men with much greater means than I are willing to put their hard earned money into something that I enjoy. The fact that they are willing to share their passion with public is only icing on the cake. Be thankful we have people like Paul Allen contributing to our passion and stop about people just because they have more than you.
