We're looking for one separate division for the early birds, but I also
understand that this has been under consideration for a long time and
nothing has happened.
Another problem is evident by the attitude that "no one has ever seen these
old planes fly, so how can they be judged properly?". Well, this is an
attitude that will be hard to change. My reply was that how many people have
seen MOST of the a/c types fly? Oh well, none of us have claimed that this
is a perfect world.
