Warbird Information Exchange

How about the Finnish Buffalo?

My vote is for the Chicago Stuka. Although the London one's likely a better prospect I prefer the early models. I know the FHCAM one can't be far away but still!


It's coming!

We tried voting with the Ballot box, When do we start voting from the Ammo box, and am I allowed only one vote ?
Check out the Ercoupe Discussion Group on facebook

Or maybe the better-known Vultee product, perhaps?

Or Vought Vindicator?
(Why not both? )

Museum aircraft I'd like to see fly:
Vought Vindicator
PB2Y Coronado
Martin PBM Mariner
Sikorsky VS-44
and a few extinct types-
Boeing 314
Curtiss SBC Helldiver
TBD Devastator

but that's notgonnahappen.com.

And as long as we're wishing for ponies for Christmas, the P-26 and AT-12 need something to escort:

(source: Wikipedia) I'd like to think a replica B-10 would be doable given today's technology.

I'd also love to see this B-18 flying again, even if it's just hanging under a helicopter on its way to the museum at Ford Island:

Forgot to mention the Focke Wulf FW 189 that's in storage. It's a fascinating aircraft . Like the OV-10 Bronco, kind of in a class by itself. There are some great videos on youtube from WW II.
