Government seizes F-14s acquired by museums

March 8, 2007 at 9:13 am 1 comment

Apparently three F-14s were acquired by some museums via a middleman that hasn’t done things properly.  More on target is that some government oversight person failed their responsibility.  My opinion is that there is a lot more to this story than what you see in the short news stories.  I feel bad for the museums.  Most of the air museums have limited budgets and spending money on a plane you don’t get to keep has got to sting.  [via]

Another forum, Warbird Info Exchange, has some interesting discussion about this topic as well.  They also posted this article from an NBC affiliate.

From Marine Corps Chaplain Father Dennis O'Brien: "It is the soldier, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives the protester the right to burn the flag." found on: www.robreider.com
