Pilots Those cool airplanes won’t fly without pilots. In fact, the day could come when we will not have qualified pilots to fly some of the older airplanes. Take the B-26 medium bomber! There are no B-26s flying today. How long will it be before all the qualified pilots for the B-26 are gone? Actually, not long! Then, when a B-26 is restored to flying condition and made airworthy, learning to fly it will be done by test pilots just like learning to fly a brand new airplane. Unfortunately, some airplanes will never fly again. Instead, their existence will be relegated to museums. Enjoy the planes flying at summer air shows and fly-ins.
