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

She, if she is a she, too fuzzy to tell in the tail wheel inspection shot, looks like she does a pretty thorough post flight..great pics and thanks.

Oh god, don't remind me. I set off down the road in my 56 Ford in 1990 and heard "meow" "meow", I stopped and searched and never did find it. I don't know what happened and I hope it doesn't ever again. Yeah guys, check those airplanes!

Here are some shots of the flying today (Friday 02/02/07. Not much activity up until 3pm when I left. They only flew in pairs and for a short time. They came in high over the end of the runway by Pima Museum and the photos are not great.

I need help in identying the P-51s.

I called a friend of mine today who is there at the conference...And actually I wasnt aware that he was there. He answered the phone screaming at me asking if he could call me back! There was a incredible sound from a jet in the background and all i could do was laugh and hang up. He called me back later on. He was standing next to the F-22 as she was firing up! ...MUST BE NICE! :axe:

Anyone know if there is thought of a FAC Heritage flight? O2 and A-10. Any A-10 pilots could you fly at 150 kts?

You know, that's a pretty darn good idea! I think that would be cool to see. :D

For that matter, it would be really cool to see at our Gathering of Twin Tails on May 12. :wink:

That's too far for me to fly from NE Ohio. I don't think I'll be there. I'll be thinking of you as your twin tail fly in is a great idea.

I think if I twist Karens arm just right I can get her to bring her O-2, and do the navigating so I can attend.

Something tells me you won't have to twist too hard!

BILWOR - are you back today- If so please send us more!!!!!

Here are a few more photos from yesterday The First two are of P-51ds that I don't the id of. The third is the F-4E 72-1494. Fourth is the F-16D 88-174.

The rest are not warbirds or were flying with Heritage Conference, but were at D-M yesterday. The A-10A is a typical sight around Tucson. It is the base for transition to the Warthog. This one is a "snowbird" from the Air Force Reserve in Kansas City. Squadrons from the northern states come to D-M for 1 to 2 weeks flying out the Goldwater Range in sw Arizona.

The F-15E 88-1704 flew several passes in between Heritage Flights
