One possible solution to that age old question would be "Buy yourself a warbird"
or..
1) Start flying old tailwheel aeroplanes, such as Chipmunk, Harvard, Tiger Moth, Yak50. Basically anything that takes skill and judgement to fly. Take care with engine handling, fly formation, become competent at aerobatics, gain respect.
2) Get lots of experience on said types around the bazaars until your face gets known.
3) Wait...................and if you're good, you'll be invited.
