[Milsurplus] WWII Warbird radio job

[Peter Gottlieb]

If that "jerk" buys the leopard then he/she can eat it if so desired.

If some group puts their sweat and tears and money into a beautiful restoration 
and then wants to fly it, that is their right.  Even if it's just for the thrill 
of pilot and passengers to do so.
