I have met Dr. Zeiger and his father taught me ground school when I was learning to fly. He and his friends do air shows regularly and have many hundreds of hours behind the stick. Yes, accidents do happen. Aviation insurance is not cheap, but you can bet each of those planes are heavily insured.
There is no comparison between pilots of cool planes that are trained to fly them and big power boats that anyone with enough money that can buy one and run it without ANY experience behind the wheel.
Thank God their are men such as these that keep these war birds in the air. Not only for the owners that enjoy flying them , but those of us who can't afford to play like that but can watch. It is a very expensive hobby that only the top earners can afford.
Doctor, You have my permission to come to Logan Martin to buzz any day. I stop and watch all war birds when they fly over because one day, there won't be any more up there.
And yes they are loud, but remember one thing, that is and was the sound of freedom. I appreciate each and every person that has had anything, no matter how trivial, to do with keeping our freedom.
