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

Im curious about warbirds at airshows . Do they get paid to attend ?

It often depends. More often than not, it's a break-even situation at best for the lesser-known types. Some of the "better" planes - mainly "acts" will be paid to attend.
Airplanes like our little Liaison birds may get a fuel subsidy, but generally speaking, we're paying for them to keep flying!
