It would seem to me the creation of a Foundation is in order...without that, I suspect it might fall into less commercial minded hands. (Thanks for all you have done for the hobby by the way) But get some private funds coming in now to give him time to select the next caretaker...just thinking out loud. And before one of you asks me to start the Foundation...how can you be sure I am not going to do this just to get my Backdraft Cobra into the Registry?
But seriously, this is a very important aspect of the hobby, and those that have the real deal Cobras are generally well heeled...to protect their investment, a Foundation might be a small price to pay indeed.
