I would personally give my left nut to be able to see as many original vintage combat AC in museums. I'd give my right nut to fly replicas.  |
lol you'd be the first flying castrato
joking aside, I understand the passion and will to see old planes flying, but there's a line to be drawn.
I think that the future could be what Flugwerk does, remaking planes from original plans and where possible using original components, giving both the looks and feel of the original machine, but with today's standards of safety.
