What crashed in front of us today?

Poberenzy has to come up with some way to pay for all his expensive
toys (P-51's etc.) and the thousands of gallons of fuel it takes to
make 'em work.

ask Poberenzy or some
EAA high roller to take your kid up in the EAA Official P-51 that
supposedly belongs to all us loyal EAA dues-paying members
[ya right]

This item of the P-51 seems to stick in a lot of folks craw. Just to shed a
little light on it (facts are facts, how you skew 'em.......well), he
personally bought it when they were selling for under $100,000. He seldom
flies it.........SELDOM! When it does fly, some big wig member is footing the
bill for fuel out of their OWN pocket. (These are facts based on personal
experience with the EAA). This bird is costing EAA members far,far less than a
new Cirrus would cost to operate.

Far be it for me to begrudge anyone enjoying their expensive toys.
More power to 'em...I, for one, just don't think EAA is everything
it's all cracked up to be (no pun intended).

Privatization is the future.

EAA has demonstrated excellent political skills.

True. Glad ya' pointed that out. But do us light sportsters a big
favor and stick with the "heavy iron" pitot tubes and stuff, OK?

Take it to the rah, then.
