   I'm actually to the point I would rather see remaining warbirds put on permanent static display

   just for the petty, childish thrill of smashing boomer's toys. It's obscene how everyone's supposed to sit, clap, and donate millions of dollars just so a handful of fat old faggots can trade off the right to fly old military surplus.

   They act like it's IMPOSSIBLE to train anyone under the age of 55, but in reality the most high-time, "experienced" warbird douche today has a grand total of 500 hours in his 2-of-a-kind airframe.

   Get over yourself, fat old nigger. Those machines were meant ofr sixteen year old farmboys, not a sewing circle of obese nerds trading seats until they pass away and shutter the program

     The fundraising just never ends, these things are absolute money pits. I'd be more in favor of "preserving history" if there's indication that these planes are meant to fly in 100 years.

     But I don't get that: What I pick up on is this unspoken assumption that we're bankrolling boomer toys, and once they all die, the whole thing will collapse because they REFUSE to train any younger pilots up to the level they can check off others and insure the plane.

     Not to mention they're all on board with progressive silliness. They're all for "highlighting african american contributions" and pretending that the women's air corps was the greatest bunch of brave and courageous aviators to ever live.

     I was getting gay offers all year because they had some silly promotion to "build awareness" that girls ferried planes in the home front, and anyone who bought a T-6 was supposed to be directed toward some female charity. IDK why, I got the impression they were hoping you'd pay the money and then just let them borrow it to fly retarded girls around to BALANCE THE STEAM graduage gap

     If they funded it themselves I'd be cool, it's the fact they're trying to guilt us into subsidizing their hobby as if it's a favor for us all.

     "hey everyone you should donate money to me to let me daily drive this priceless old bugatti, by driving it to work I'm actually doing YOU all a favor just by existing!"

     Not to mention the holocaustianity of it all. Every year is some excuse to do these big things, there's a million new anniversaries of everything that ever happened in the war, and it's always the same vibe:

     Religious reinforcement of the narrative that WWII was a unique battle of all that is good and wholesome chungus gay-friendly love-is-love antifascist righteousness, and taking stock of it in any other way is flirting with heresy of the most foul taint

     "EVERYONE WE NEED 845,000 DOLLARS IN ORDER TO FLY A CRIPPLED, DELIERIOUS OLD MAN TO NORMANDY AGAIN BECAUSE WE GET A RELIGIOUS HIGH WHEN WE WATCH THE GREATEST GENERATION LOOK UPON THEIR RUINS IN TEARS ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL MAKE THIS A RECURRING GIFT NOW"
