I got a copy of Flight Journal January 2009 issue. In it is an article by Chuck Yeager titled" STOP WASTING WARBIRDS!".
Anyway in the short article Yeager explains some of his exploits in the P-51. But then starts commenting that we are losing warbirds all the time due to "rich, spoiled pilots who have no idea what is behind them". He mentions Reno and Oshkosh as the main subject. To the uninformed reading they would get the idea that warbirds are crashing everyday from what Yeager has written!
I think most warbird pilots and owners are top notch people and have the skill to operate them. Apperently Yeager thinks differently.
Thanks Yeager!
Sorry for the rant,
Nate
