I think they have crashed and destroyed enough war birds over the last few yrs. Now, innocent people are getting killed. I'm kind of glad they are putting more restrictions on them.
Flying is dangerous. In anything that lifts you off the ground and at any speed. Had a friend that bought a powered ultralight thing once. He was showing off around his neighborhood, stalled it, and crashed into the ground. Killed him and his wife. Poor decisions, skill, hours, etc...people think they are going for a ride in a safe aircraft like an airliner or such when they do these warbird rides. I don't think they are safe at all from what I've heard from people with experience with those foundations. If you have plenty enough $$$ and donate it...they will let you fly them scenario.
