I currently maintain a A-26, DC-3, PBY-5A, C-1A, TBM, B-25, T-6D, PT-17, C-45H, C-119, T-28, so I guess you could say I am involved.

I'm a member of the 3 local warbird outfits in my area. Volunteer as a pilot with 2 of them, and sit on the board of directors of one of them.

I do or have done all the above. Haven't flown much since I sold my Stearman unfortunately. Restoring my T-6 now. Donate and volunteer at Planes of Fame.

I am involved in the restoration of a WWII AAF Primary Flight Training base. While I am not regularly involved in the restoration of Warbirds we do have an L-29 Delphin which is the closest thing we have to a flying aircraft right now it came in a container from Romania, it fires up taxies, etc but we have some work to do before we fly it, we just got rid of a flying L-3. We have spent most of efforts over the years on the airfield but we have tried to save as many derelict aircraft, parts from scrap piles, and WWII trucks and equipment as we could over the years including an F9F-2 Panther, B-25J, piles of BT-13 parts, AT-6, T-33 a crashed Bamboo Bomber, many many aircraft gun mounts, lots of WWII trucks from farmers fields, an M5A1 Stuart tank. We still have a PV-2C, P2V-3W disassembled, and B-25J disassembled sitting around that would be nice to see looking better one day.
