![]() RST Engineering wrote: I'm prejudiced. Of course I'm prejudiced. I used to be a big warbird fan until I joined the Confederate (back then) Air Force. Once they had my money it seemed like things changed. It felt as though my only reason for being there was to milk my money and labor to offset the operating costs so arrogant airline pilots could continue to play with (and occasionally crack up) irreplaceable antique military "toys". Even as a full member I wasn't allowed to tour any of "their" aircraft at any shows without forking out the "donation" like any other Joe Blow off the street. I felt like I got suckered into some kind of religious cult. I get to toil in the fields all day and give all my earnings, and worship, to the "church" so those at the top could live like "gods". Now I've turned into one of those bleeding heart conservationist types who feels that the planes should be kept from flying (in museums) before some "hot shots" eventually destroy them all. I was much happier before I got too close to what was going on. Of course, that's just me. Jim |
