I am kinda glad the Bearcat is on the for sale list. That means that one more may be flying again soon. :D The Zoo seems to have a large collection I am sure selling one or two will not hurt the museum. Knowing the hardships museums go threw these days the money could probably be well used after the sales.

A lot of us ain't going to believe that no matter how many times it's said, John! But the Zoo gets credit for sticking to its story. As you probably know, the main objections are (1) insurance doesn't seem to be prohibitive for other flying collections and (2) "insurance" is really only a code word for the real monetary risk associated with flying the aircraft, unless you think the insurance company is gouging you.



I dont understand the gripe about insurance. I beleive the reason the groundings were due to inc. cost. It's their museum they run it to the best of their abilities. Why is that so hard to believe? :roll:

Actually, I think the debate has been fairly civil and respectful. There are certainly differences of opinion, and they've been voiced. But I didn't think it got ugly.
