Absolutely, I get it.

You and the two or three posters who agree with you are self-centered
pigs who care nothing about preserving history. Your temporary
adrenaline rush is much more important, and the risk of splattering a
priceless aircraft means nothing beside your momentary thrills. How sad
that people like you are allowed to own such an aircraft.

A hundred or five hundred years from now, if your ilk prevails, people
will be saying "Gosh, I wish someone had kept a B-17G preserved
somewhere. I would have really loved to see the real thing".

I hope and pray there are not many like you.

Bill T.

There are millions of us.

And he's heard from 'many like...' here.

The word 'obtuse' comes to mind.

As does the word 'troll'.

I must say that when I ship a piece of WWII gear, I feel guilty packing it.
It was designed to be shot at, go through intense cold and heat and keep
working, and then I ship it off and pack it like it was a treasure. I
really should tape an address label on it and drop it in the box. I doubt
that the post office can do what the Germans and Japanese could not do

I have no doubt whatsoever. I also have a WW2 manual that includes a
section on packaging of equipment for transportation, and they don't doubt
it either:

"...It should be remembered that goods in transit receive very rough
handling, a free drop onto concrete from a height of 4' 6" is not
improbable, and packaging should as far as possible be made to meet
these conditions".

- but I still pack the stuff with care.

As you must.

Bill is 100% correct. He should negotiate and buy the plane from the
restorers for its priceless value, say $50-100 million, he can then
store it and show it to whomever he pleases! That is the American way!

If I had the money, I would.


Then don't complain about what other people are doing!

UPS= Universal Package Smashers. I've had the best luck using the
postal service for BoatAnchor shipping, second was Fedex. For the really
big stuff Donzelli Transport works great.

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.

As long as folks like you own these priceless relics, someday the last
one will be reduced to scrap. What a shame.

Not so pal, just the opposite. Bull****ters talk forever, money steps
up and quietly does the job.

And the Head Up the Ass award goes to.... Spokesman, who complains
about what other people are doing by telling them not to complain about
what other people are doing.

I'm sure the award went right over his head. Someone explain it to him,
please.

Who cares..... If I ever get to a point where I am senile enough to get into
a ****ing contest because somebody said not to get ugly, then just shoot me.

Who is "217stufforsale"? Quite a few negative feedbacks and
no location given. Kind of reminds me of Radio-Mart.

The answer is still the same. If you don't want the airplane to fly then
YOU should buy it and put it on static display in your workshop.

If you don't want to buy it then let the people who are willing to
restore it use it as a flying museum.
