Trust me---Farley? I can tell you stuff about Bob Lutz

I used to go to the local aviation museum for their monthly historical lectures. One evening, the program started with an award being presented to Lutz. In his comments, Lutz was berating we in the audience for not wearing suits and ties. What? We went there for an interesting lecture, and we were abused about how we were dressed? Lutz, in spite of his PR, seems to be the typical CEO: "swaggering, tin planted, dictator, with delusions of God-hood".

I quit going to the lectures, and cut off financial support and volunteer labor, for that museum, due to their disgustingly cavalier treatment of their supporter's money. Their latest indignity was selling their B-17, for an undisclosed sum. Museum "management" said they intended to invest the money, to provide a more steady revenue stream than selling rides on the 17. Having seen how "management" handles the museum's money, I expect that stack of cash will be frittered away, over time, so they end up with no stack of cash, no B-17, and no revenue stream, because the museum is run by a bunch of tap-dancing baboons that don't have the discipline to organize a trip to the head.
