This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

That's what volunteers are for! There is never a shortage of people willing to take the controls for a while during a cross-country. Yes, the controls are heavy and it requires a lot of focus until one gains experience, but it's not like lifting weights or something (my experience is with the B-17). Bad weather is generally avoided with these precious warbirds. I think the longest leg I saw during my time at LSFM was about 5 hours from Ft. Pope, NC to Galveston. That was the exception.

Transit flights can be a little longer than 2-3 hrs. Lil's flight from Addison to Andrews in May was 6 hrs 9 min. A long flight for a bunch of us gentlemen over 60. Lil did fine. Did not hear any complaints from the guys up front concerning not having auto-pilot.
