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

Thanks for the links. The museum has put together quite a collection of aircraft. I wonder if they have plans to acquire any others.

There was an earlier thread here slating the museum for turning a veteran of the Aleutian campaign to a 23rd FG lookalike.

I've also seen comments that this is largely a new-build full-scale replica incorporating a few original parts..not sure which is correct.

Most of their aircraft are. The Spitfire apparently uses quite a bit of steel sheet for skinning, and the Bf109 is of somewhat dubious provenance.

I got a series of good photos on both when they were on the ground for the 109's addition a few years back. From what I understand, both were rebuilt from various parts. Photos here:
