WANTED: Museum seeks B-17G Flying Fortress radio/radar equipment
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...

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. 73, Bill W6WRT -- Joe Leikhim K4SAT "The RFI-EMI-GUY"© "Treason doth never prosper: what's the reason?
