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

Mexia (Mah-hi-ah) is one of those places that exist, and that's about it. Agricultural mostly, cattle and oil somewhere nearby.
The airport has a company named "Trim-Aire Aviation" and on Tuesday, I stopped by to ask for parts for my PT-19. No joy.
In any case, they had a pristine T-34 but with very much Beech A-36-like wingtip tanks. Also there, a Beech Queen Air, still in U.S. Army colors (brown and white), interior stripped bare, some work was being carried on the right wing.
Also saw the pylon-mounted F-86 that is on US-75, North of Dallas.
