Very interesting that the post asking to stop the arguing and whining
is the longest post of all, by far. In a nutshell, that's the problem.
Only your thoughts are important, only your desires are valid, what you
want is primary above all.
Yet you think *you* have the right to dictate to the people that own and
pay for those craft what _they_ "should" do with their own property.
As long as folks like you own these priceless relics, someday the last
one will be reduced to scrap. What a shame.
Which will have absolutely *zero* effect on the number of non-flying
"relics" on static display.
Available evidence suggests (*very* strongly, too) that "more or less
*NOBODY*" wants to spend the money to preserve such static non-flying
display aircraft. That *those* aircraft are being 'reduced to scrap'
_today_, for lack of interest. "What a shame", indeed.
Not to put too fine a point on it, how much money have _you_ donated to
the support of _any_ "non-flying B-17 static display" organization?
It's always easier to spend somebody else's money, isn't it?
I suspect the appellation 'hypocrite' applies.
