Ah, but you are forgetting two of the major facts of life -" My cause is MUCH more important than yours" and "I know how you should spend your money better than you do".
Yup, this about sums it up quite nicely.
Now, having been in professional aviation for over forty years (civilian flying only, no military), I like old aeroplanes too, but....only select ones.
Stratocruiser
DC-6B
DC-7
Lockheed 1649 Constellation
Lockheed L188 Electra
Boeing 707
These, in many respects, were quite unique at their time...
Stratocruiser
First true trans-oceanic pressurized airliner, that had rather hibred engines.
DC-6B
The most economical 4-engine piston transport...ever.
1649 Constellation.
The first (and only) truly ultra long range piston transport
Lockheed Electra
The first large American manufactured turbopropellor transport...that was
really fast.
B707...the classic swept wing transport jet.
And, I flew 'em all, at one point, or another.
Quite frankly, except for a few select others, I couldn't give a stuff about other old(er) types.
