I have been thinking of this one myself Tim. Perhaps some available in an electonic format and searchable? Something that has every s/n, c/n, c/r, aircraft nickname, owner name, restorer, etc. listed that can be searched. Perhaps at the end of each year a CD is mailed with the added information for that year, along with the information from the previous years (could create a demand for back issues). Or maybe instead of a mailed CD (you also want to keep costs low) something similar that can be emailed.
Just thinking out loud.

- safety articles --> a must. That's one thing I love with the EAA Warbird mag, they run these great articles on past accidents and provide insights on how to best be prepared to avoid or face such events. I'm sure we all know we can't make all the mistakes ourselves.
Not to make light of a serious subject... But I think what you are trying to say is that every person can only make one serious mistake.
Actually that is another article I quite enjoyed. Even though I am not a pilot, I enjoyed the safety article as it helped me to appreciate even more the performances I have witnessed at previous shows, including the one my Mr. Snodgrass in Excalibur at Yankee. Wow!
