Warbird Information Exchange

Anyone have any?

I saw one for sale a couple years ago. Not airworthy by any means -- needed some SERIOUS TLC -- but not really a basket case.

Looked really bizarre with that big reduction gear nose.

There is a preserved one in the NMUSAF

WE built one from a couple that had been in some A&P schools. Flew it for about 6 months. Had it to OSH about 1997 or so. Pretty interesting story about its use in PAVE EAGLE project in SE Asia.

wasn't there one based in the NJ area back about 5-8 yrs ago?

There was an article a while back in Warbirds International about a pair of QU-22B's, one being restored and one on the airshow circuit.

One for sale Duff aircraft in DEN, complete.....

Hey Daddy Mike!

Now that you need another seat you should consider getting one. We'll even let you park it on the warbird line at OSH! I remember seeing Mark's there and have some pics somewhere; but still have some boxes to unpack. Think of an A-36 with a 421 engine and smaller rear windows and if I remember correctly, tip tanks. Would be a good performer I would imagine.

Here is some pics of NX22QU at CAF Airsho Mid Land Tx 2011

search for N75208, a QU-22B

PM me your email address as there is one here in the DFW area. Ober, you still have the one I sent you??

I was looking at them at Baugher's site the other day and noted some were sentto A&P schools. I wonder if there are any still being used in that capacity?
I knew a couple were flying but have never seen one in the flesh..or even many photos of restored ones.

Restored one at Greenwood Lake, NJ Airshow in 2010.

Definetly had a moment.

Ruh roh... where dey at? I'd like to see a few pics of 22QU these days; I flew that ship twice a coupla years ago on post mx flights while it was based at Houston Hooks. What a cool old beast.

Here is NX22QU, taken at D/FW Aviation Expo, Dec. 2010:
