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

Does anyone remember seeing the TV show where some treasure hunters were off of the Dominican Republic in the early 1980's and they got buzzed by Dominican P-51's? I was just floored by the fact that they were still flying them. its a great sight for warbird freaks like me(or just freaks like me) great footage.sorry I cant remember the name of the show.

I remember seeing that. They were not just buzzed. The Mustangs were flying top cover to prevent rivals from poaching the site.
Around that time a Cuban gunboat violated Dominican waters and the Mustangs strafed it. Then a flight of Cuban Mig 23s buzzed the Dominican Air Force base. Someone asked the Dominican AF pilots what did they do? The answer; "What could we do? We went back inside and sat down."
