PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, we asked if historic aircraft should be flown by groups like the Commemorative Air Force - or if some one-of-a-kind birds are just too rare for the air.

Most of the readers who took a moment to answer thought historic aircraft should be flown - 31% of you offering no restrictions and another 33% saying pilot qualifications, weather, and safety-of-flight issues should be squarely at the forefront. (11% of you said such flights should be limited to special occasions to keep them in flying condition, but no more.
