I think you would find that if it wasn't for 'the really rich people' the numbers of flyable warbirds would be a lot lower than it is...particularly the fighters.

The accident rates on these aircraft are a LOT lower than they were before these aircraft became the valuable collectors items they currently are. The accident rates on WW2 era piston fighters was truly galling back in the 60s-early 80s period.

huges500boy if it was a ground loop there would be significant wing tip damage and one undercarriage leg would likely be under the belly as opposed to in the vicinity of its wheel well. I have seen no evidence to that effect.

Even if that had happened who the **** are YOU to comment you arrogant dill!
