You know, I know this is a current topic, and a hot one at that, and I'm all for saving warbirds and the artifacts, but honestly, don't you guys think we're jumping the gun a bit on this? The folks at LSFM mostly are still trying to get power, water, and figure out if they can even go home. I'm SURE that there will be plenty of discussions amongst them in the future after things have settled down and they will have to answer some tough questions.
I think you are right Ryan. It's certainly not up to us to 'tell' LSFM where they 'should' be.
My heart goes out to the LSFM staff, and I recognize that in most cases their personal circumstances must come first, before the museum gets addressed, much as it hurts to look at the pics.
Like most of us, I'm sure we'd like to help as far as we can to get them back on their feet; I'd just like to suggest while it's tempting to talk about the matter, LSFM needs to take the lead in any discussions - floating ideas may be useful, telling a perfectly capable museum team what to do isn't helpful.
Like a bunch of doctors around a patient, it isn't good to keep yapping on - let's wait for the LSFM guys to come on line and
then let's follow their lead.
They
do need to know there's support out there - so keep that online.
Best of luck to the Texans.
Just my views.
