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.

An airplane that is not flown is so much scrap metal. They were
designed and built to be flown and in the air is where they belong.
If someone wants a static display let them build a replica.


Add to that the fact that this 'priceless airplane' is only such
*because* this group invested heavily in its existence. Without their
contribution of time, effort, money and hardship, it would--in
fact--(still) be only so much scrap metal.

Y'all don't suppose that Bill posted his little rebuttal simply
because the OP politely asked him not to? Something about "stirring the pot"
comes to mind.
