Warbird Information Exchange

Hi All,

Well I just got done talking with Buddy Macon and the topic of the meeting came up and we both agreed it was the right time to try to get this back on track.

Now my question for all of you is this who should we ask to be part of this meeting, second beside the ownership question what other items should be discussed.

This will not be a Wix's sponser event unless Scott wants it to be. Feel free to post about it.

if you have any question or would like to talk more about this feel free to email me.

Thanks
Rob

Hi Don,

Please post this on the thread,

Also if anyone really wants to know the history tell them to do a search on the Wix.

I'll try to give you a call on Sunday evening

The Navy Meeting,

Here are some of the original topics that were going to be discussed. These are the ones that Buddy and I went over and feel that should be discussed.

1) Over all ownership of crashed aircraft.

2) Ownership problems with naval aircraft that were surplused with out proper sales paperwork

3) Ownership problems with aircraft on loan to museums with out a clear ownership

4) A guide line for civilians wanting to work with Pensacola on recovery's.

5) Discussion on the Historical Preservation Act and US Code 470


Now these are the ones I think should be discussed. Their are some other items that could be brought into these discussion, but I think these 5 are the ones that need to be addressed. Now I think as I did in the past a small group to start of with is the best. I would like to see some folks from Museums and some folks within the Warbird movement be part of the round table discussion. As I have already stated this will not be a Warbirds Resource Group event, this will be open to those who would like to be part of this historic meeting.

One thing to make clear, this meeting will not change over night the ownership problem with the Navy. What I(we) hope to do is to start the process of final removal of the ownership problems. This is going to take some time but at least we now have allies within the NHC.

If you wish to be involved or think someone should be contact please feel free to contact me via Scott or Ryan.

In all seriousness, best of luck Rob.

This could be an important discussion.
