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

According to the June issue of Air Classics there has been a mass scrapping of planes parked in Chandler,Az. With the exception of DC-7B N4889C, all of the DC-7's, a DC-6 and DC-4 N49915 have been done away with. Also at Hawkins & Powers there is a report of one of the Lockheed P-2 Neptunes being scrapped also. Sad news indeed!

The H&P P-2 that was scrpped was a non flyer I'm told. They had a pretty hard landing after the ferry flight and bent the fuselage. H&P had pulled all the parts off that they could use and then used the airframe for a engine run test stand. So it was to meet the srappers torch someday. It is still sad to here.
