This guy has to be a gazzillionare just to keep those things airworthy, not to mention what it cost to buy them in the first place. Is he an oil baron or something?
Personally I'm delighted that someone with enough money has decided to spend some of it on this amazing collection of classic aircraft. Of course, I wish I was in a position to do the same but since I'm not, it's great to see somebody else preserving these airframes in airworthy condition for future generations to see and hear.
How do I get to be adopted by Jim Smith? I wanna be his son, right now!
Which airport does he fly the A-37 and the T-33 from? I like the jet warbirds (having flown almost all in USAF and USN). But I need a buddy to buy the fuel!

Obviously a man with his priorities straight.....I'd just add a P-47. :)

If I bring my own cot, can I just sleep in a corner, someplace?

No Harvard made past the Mk IV. Say - who's doing the Brandenburg (music) - and where did this guy get all the coin to do this??

A wonderful collection. Btw, a small typo - Northrop is spelled with two O's.
