Warbird Information Exchange

I would like to see her on the House Financial Services commitee. She would do better than most. John, I know you and I see the situation pretty much the same. I am sure there are some who missed my point. So to put in in more practical terms, suppose The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery were to actually fulfill their mandate of Historic Aircraft Recovery? One clear path would be to take a page from Chuck Greenhill and sponsor recovery and restoration of Lake Michigan wrecks. How many could be done for the $2.2 million they are spending on yet another trip to a barren island that holds no secrets? Or if they purely funded recovery, probably a dozen could be recovered and dispersed to museums. The Wildcat at the Pima museum is one of the bigger attractions, because it stands out as a relic in a room full of restored beauties. People learn about the airplane and the mission. Probably some kid gets inspired every week or so and it is a good thing.

So, to answer Muddy's original question, no I won't be embarrased. I will still think it was a complete waste of time and money.
