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

This aircraft is not ex Argentina C-916! It is the former N261WL. I have no idea why Discovery have used the c/ns they have for registering their aircraft. All I can think is that all previously thought A-4 c/ns are wrong...

Super neat aircraft. Got to see the Blue Angels perform with them when I was little.

"Heineman's Hot Rod" -- a remarkable little plane.
I think the Israeli camouflage schemes are among the most attractive paint schemes applied to aircraft today, and their schemes are basically unchanged since the 1960s.

Hey Bill, #531 came by the KSAD airport to shoot approaches but never touched down the other day(Mon. or Tue??) We see the two seater do the same every now and then out here. Makes great noise but I can't get as good as of picture, Thanks

Those where taken @ Gateway I presume?
