You must know some know of another Confederate Air Force than I do. The
one I know (former member) never has enough funds to do what they need
to do to maintain their aircraft. If you think Military Vehicles are
pricey, you should get into warbirds. Gas is always about twice that of
auto fuel. Parts are two to ten times that of comparable MV parts.
Used to work on and fly a B-25J, BT-13, a host of Liaison A/C, etc. We
hated to even have to change the spark plugs on the B-25 because it
cost about $20 per plug and it had 56 plugs (28 per engine). It also
burned 150-200 gallons of gas per hour.

Relatively speaking, Mil Vehs are CHEAP.
