Right! Each one of those prices was out of my league at the time. And don't forget, the buying is the easy part on a Warbird, it's what comes after that kills your pocket book!

Avgas.
And, if it's a radial engine, lots of heavy weight oil! [video=youtube;Kw6UWPaTUt0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kw6UWPaTUt0[/video]

- Well behind the front lines!
Lucky enough to score a Mustang ride in formation with a B-17 and a B-24 once. We even intercepted them over water (the Gulf o Mexico). Best 90 minutes of my life!
As for the working guns, I can't see the FAA allowing you to shoot them in flight as the brass kicks out the bottom of the wings. Then there's the whole ATF issue of transporting machine guns over state lines, which is a real headache. That said, imagine getting them to fire live ammo and actually taking it up to strafe targets laid out on the ground!
