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

This probably wont be nearly as challenging or as fun as JDK's quizzes but I thought I'd give it a go.
1. Where was FiFi visiting?

2. Which Corsair is this? (Taken at the Sikorsky Memorial Airport around 76, 77 I believe) -Yeah thats my dad.

3. Bonus: Which T-28 is this? (Also Taken at the Sikorsky Memorial Airport)

4. What 2 aircraft are being restored/built in this pic?

4.5 2nd picture for better accuracy

5. Where is this Bird?

6. 2nd Pic

And no source code checking!!!!

Haha, dont that beat all! Small world I suppose.

You are correct on # 1!
And Jerry I thought this might be a walk in the park for you.

But if this thread starts slipping down the page, feel free to blow it out of the water.

Due to the non-standard features on the Albatross (four-blade props, multi-strut wing float attachment) I'm guessing it's a prop in some theme park attraction.

Very Close on the mongrel Albatross,
That is the lagoon at the Royal Pacific Hotel at Universal Studios in Orlando.
The hotel is all pacific themed with an somewhat aviation themed rest. downstairs.
If you were walking towards Isl. of Adv., and passed Margaritaville and the Lone palm airport, take a left and follow the path to the hotel, the albatross is moored in the lagoon, and the bilge pump runs occasionally to empty it out. Its been a while since we went there, who knows it may have sunk? The 4 blades, the lack of wheel wells, and a much better example sitting just a short walk away, its no real big deal anymore.
