I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The VTTS maybe the best example of a professional organization properly funded with current-on- type aircrew for vintage military aircraft. That it was publicly funded and largely dependent on display fees and a hugely expensive administration staff was its ultimate failure (not to mention engines).

To scale up such an operation for multiple types would be a massive undertaking as outside the display season your professional pilots would still need paying.
