You won't take heat from me. Everything's cool Daddyo ;)

No. F-14's are not warbirds, they are a threat to national security and should be treated as such. :roll:

[quote="skymstr02"]If it has not flown with some sort of civillian registration, its not a warbird.
If it was retired from the military to a museum, its a relic.
Warbirds are synomomous with some sort of post military aviation activity.[/quote]
Tricky, that. PA474 (no civil registration) 'City of Lincoln', [i]The Bomber[/i].

Warbird, I think, and RAF owned and operated.

Regardless of the vintage, military aircraft are warbirds. That is what they were designed for, to be birds of war.


Short sweet and "spot on" as the Brits would say!
