Sounds like a difference in opinion between royal subjects and US citizens. Problem is, an increasing number of US citizens don't like the prospect of becoming a subject.

Didn't like it 240 yrs ago, don't like the idea of it now.

Moaning about it on here or attacking the guys that dissagree with you won't help.


If you don't like it take Leigh's route, find out the real facts, find out who to talk to and go do something about it.

... and guess who's flying it, a well qualified F-15 driver !!!

Shows you, the proposed new regulation does not limit the preservation and promotion of your military heritage by private contributors, it only makes it safer so you don't end up killing anyone.

Get yourself organised and even wild dreams can come true.

We have a civilian registered Avro Vulcan B2 cold war era four engine "V" nuclear bomber on the airshow circuit - registered as G-VLCN the former RAF serial XH558 - the CAA ( our FAA ) impose very tight guidelines on the operators, the engineering and maint and those who fly her ( ex RAF aircrew not money playboy millionaires ) -

Feel free to donate to keep her flying - it's the sound of Freedom!

I look forward to seeing a civilian restored airworthy flying Hustler or a B-47 ( fat chance ) on my next trip to the US&A

Who cares if they are EX-military ?
And why are money playboy millionaires excluded ?
How about we only allow EX-military gyro pilots fly gyros ?
