This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Castle is expecting the B-58 sometime this summer.

Seabee, can you try that again? All I get is a request to add Gmail to my account.

The EC-121 tail, engines and domes have arrived safely at Willow Run. Per facebook the fuselage got underway this morning.

Even on a trailer it looks fast and sexy!

Does anybody have a complete list of aircraft that are there (or were there)?

I will be there next Friday and Saturday for an indoor model airplane contest at an adjacent hangar. I can certainly take some pics of what is still outside.

Does anybody have current contact information for somebody at the museum? Is there even anybody still there at this point?

Worldwide Aircraft Recovery has the B-58 up on a trailer; wings are coming off next:

Here's what the F-86A and T-33 looked like in February. They were relocated to the Air National Guard display in Fort Wayne.

Thanks Matt! I see they're using the handyman's secret weapon to seal the canopies...

The B-58 arrived last Friday, 18-Aug-2017. It currently looks like a crash site surrounded by a fence. I'll have a bucket of pics tomorrow, but moving to a new host has become cumbersome. I'll figure out something.

Can't wait Spectre! Excited for your team. She going at the end by the Vigilante? Maybe across from the B-36 would be a better fit to be close to her CONVAIR sisters.
The loss of free photobucket is a real pain. Think I will go to imageshack which for a few bucks allows third party linking.

Imgur is also a nice option.
