That's a relative statement, Hue. A few hundred (or even a few
thousand) people in the world with a major interest ("major" meaning
they will spend time and/or money in support of their passion) is not a
"large" interest, and I'd bet coffee and donuts you'd have a hard time
finding 25 people within 100 miles with a passion for Chariots. You
could probably find 30 or so with a passion for B-17s within a hundred
miles, but those people are aging off this mortal coil quickly.
The idea of flying replicas would seem a good one, though I don't know
how practical. It would take a large investment and a continuing stream
of funds, and with a evaporating interest base, it may not be do-able.
I don't know the answer. It's for smarter people than me. I only know
that the B-17 (and a continuing crash-parade of WWII aircraft in the
last few decades) is now one-closer to extinction.
