I disagree. Isn't that somewhat analagous to saying that a person who
could afford an $80k airplane can afford to **** away another $20 per
hour in additional taxes and fees? I'll bet that most of the folks
with the resources to invest in something like a P-51 got and kept
those resources by not ****ing away any money at all.

True enough. But they can afford to do so, if they wish to.

Also, in past years SNF was scheduled, by design
or by chance, to coincide with the MacDill Airfest.

As I recall, once upon a time, there was a warbird gathering in TICO(?)
the week before the first weekend of SNF. Many of the warbirds gathered
there the first week, their pilots took the express tube home for the
week, then returned the next weekend, retrieved their aircraft, went Sun
N Fun for the week, then flew home.
