So; if they don't fly it, don't keep it airworthy, what if a hurricane
comes along, does it just sit and wait to be ripped to shreds? More
power to them, if they fix it they should fly it. I know of a collector
of fine rare cars, he isn't afraid to send them off to vintage races or
put them on the road. I am also amazed how collectors rebuild from
almost zero remains, so even if it gets busted up...

I'm appalled to see your group is flying this priceless airplane.
Sooner or later someone will crack it up and there will be one less for
future generations to see. Please put pressure on your group to ground
it permanently and preserve it forever so out great-great grandchildren
and all future generations can have the opportunity to see the real
thing and not some replica.
