Dr Jerkle,
Smart@rse reply not required - I am on the other side of the world and my peripheral experience of the warbird scene is that, to put it euphemistically, it is supported in the main by a lot of enthusiastic amateurs, some who believe they are a law unto their own. I say again what is the core experience of those that maintain and fly this aircraft?
Once again thanks for your intelligent input Dr Jerkle.

The peripheral is close - a mate of mine, Navy A4 pilot of 30 years experience then QANTAS pilot and godfather of one of my daughters was killed along with a fare paying pax when the back end of the Mig 15 he was flying caught fire near Canberra airport in March '93.
