From the Oct 5 Aircraft Owners & Pilots Asoc (AOPA) It appers
that the warbirds got an exclusuion.. I suppose we need to wait
and see if the same exclusions apply to our vehicles..

SENATOR'S ACTION SAVES WARBIRDS
When it was introduced on the Senate floor Tuesday, the National Defense
Authorization Act for 2002 carried a section that hung like the shadow of a
bomber over warbird pilots and other owners of declassified military
equipment. The provision, section 1062 of Senate bill 1438, would have made
it unlawful for individuals to possess "significant military equipment" and
allowed for seizure of the equipment by the attorney general. Sen. Larry
Craig (R-Idaho) proposed the removal of the section, saying "it would create
tens of thousands of lawbreakers overnight." Warbird displays in museums and
airshows would have become illegal, and a large portion of the United
States' aviation history would have been removed from the public. The bill,
which included important anti-terrorism programs, passed without the warbird
section, according to Craig's office.
