• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Unfortunately,....governments show little if any sympathy towards war surplus or war weary war birds. It always comes down to recouping some of the initial cost. To the smelter they go! If only some top brass individuals had enough clout to have 100-150 of each bomber and fighter set aside for prosperity's sake.
 
If my wife were put in charge, all surplus airplanes from WWI onward would be stored somewhere (perhaps Kansas?) :applause:
