• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    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 politicion 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 amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

Collins Foundation

That doesn't sound good at all. I'm a Tour Co-ordinator for Collings here in Delaware, and if this happens, it'll be a very sad day indeed. The crews of these WWII warbirds are more dedicated to the tours and stops than anyone can really understand. To see it all end would be the final blow for people all around the US to see and ride in them. I always figured it would be their airworthyness that that would stop them from flying, but it seems bureaucratic BS is going to be the final blow.

Time for everyone to start writing letters.
 
I posted the full email I was sent from the Collings Foundation here. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?t=3195

This is the most disturbing part of the whole email - "As to its effect on the Collings Foundation, our assessment is that, as proposed, it would be fatal to the Wings of Freedom Tour and our ability to take these historic aircraft around the country and share them with millions of Americans annually."
 
B-24, I haven't heard a word from Hunter at Collings. Thanks for the info, and time to give him a call.
