Like I said, if they give bang for the buck, then great. As for BBMF, they are not the only memorial to the historical events that they represent - but granted they are the only flying example. Honest question now, are their activities sustainable ? I would have thought that lack of engine spares would ground them one day.
As for the C130 case, you bet your ass if the FSTA PFI works out, then why not outsource the Tac AT activities too. For AirTanker read AirTrucker
.
Final point - and credit where due, the ac pictured in this thread looks in better condition now than ever ( if those engine exausts are anything to go by).
