I'm with you waco. It sometimes seems to me that we are asking too much of our vintage fleet. Heaven forbid, but it would only take one horrific accident involving a heavy aircraft to throw the whole warbird movement into question. I have the utmost respect for those who restore and operate old aircraft, but aged designs are one problem, and the temptation to push the envelope just a little too far is te other.

I used to admire the Vulcan too, but it is just too big and too complex to be operated privately.
