War birds have special care involved. It takes
very little for a crash and total destruction of
the plane. I'm elated to see a plane like Glacier
Girl fly, but in the back of my mind I worry
about the old bird.
The expense in maintaining an old aircraft with
the regulatory requirements involved are far and
beyond anything we as MV owners have to deal with
to get our vehicles legal for the road.
