I wonder if that is a US plane or in Europe?

Also, what ever happened to the Brietling warbird collection? I don't see them on the Brietling page anymore (or am I jsut going blind?)

I saw the Red Bull Corsair in southern Germany two years ago. I think it's still over there.

The Brietling fighters was the sponsers name for the formation team of the Old Flying Machine Company (OFMC) for airshows in Europe, the sponsership deal finished at the end of the 2003 European airshow season (roughly, I don't know the exact date).

The P-40 and Corsair are both now based in New Zealand. :D

Yes... the Red Bull -4 is Buck's old machine. Still has the BR on the tail. I have pictures of it at Breckenridge before it went to Austria.

Breitling is sponsoring what used to be known as the "Camarillo Connie" as the "Breitling Super Constellation", on tour in the Netherlands (I think). Benny has put it on a 5 year lease with option to buy, essentially.

Red Bull don't actually own the Sea Vixen, she's owned and operated by De Havilland Aviation based at Hurn in the UK, but she has been sponsered by Red Bull for the last 2 years.

Breitling is sponsoring a Swiss Constellation, not the Dutch one. The Dutch Constellation is owned and operated by the Aviodrome.
