What reason does he have for that? Just to get tourists to his hometown?

Mind you, in Sweden it's always been illegal to own military aircraft ( the domestic ones at least) even if you could afford to fly them.

Well... I think he is just trying to procure museum pieces. If the greats are grounded, it only makes sense to house them in a museum and he knows that his benefactors would be primary beneficiaries. It is incredibly self serving... as are most if not all actions of teh congress of the United States. Never what's in it for we but what's in it for me.

Remember, the only true job a politician has is to get reelected.

Persoanlly, having seen these actually fly in real life, I do wish now they would ground some of the last surviving examples. It would be a HUGE loss if FiFi crashed. frown

There's a number of static B-29 on display, no?

So maybe better to have one flying example.

You expect something other? His job is to represent his constituents. Doing something that will bring economic opportunity to them does this. So he is looking out for "we," just those that his responsibilities force him to look out for. Apparently they do well enough at their job considering how many get reelected every 2 years.
