| [Here I step up on my soapbox...again] These warbirds are priceless. It is already debatable as to whether they should be flown. But to do stunts wherein you are standing on the brakes for no other reason than entertain the pilots ego is asinine. Forget about ground loops, the risks of structural fatigue and of asymmetrical brake system/gear failure are such that those kinds of stunts are for fools, narcissists and solopsists.
