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

Prayers for the young pilot and his family.

A terrible loss.
Also on the same day, a H-34 (N3880J) crashed near Wilton, Iowa doing AG work (I didn't know they did that).
The pilot was killed.
RIP to both and condolences to all.
