I don't work for Jack Rousch don't know him and can't stand NASCAR! But, with that being said he has done great things for warbirds in particular and aviation in general. He has a never crashed a warbird. His AL lake crash was in a Aircam which (you'll agree) is quite a ways off from a P-51D. http://www.aircam.com/ . His other crash was the Premier Jet at Oshkosh.

What?? That's a pretty presumptuous statement there. Has for Jack Rousch....he's never had an accident in a warbird of any kind. In fact he is upgrading and building new Merlin/components and has done amazing things in the warbird movement. A previously poster was correct in that the number of flyable warbirds is increasing. In large part due to recoveries, technology and process allowing what was once only good for scrap to fly again. I've been around and involved with warbird my whole life and can tell you has a fact that 99.9% of the people involved are not doing what you accuse them of.
