Hmm. So we have a historic airplane plant, too big for Yankee, but perfect for a collection of old planes. Located near a major metro area, close to an intersection of interstates, with an avid fan base, and already the site of one of the biggest warbird shows.

And then down here we have a major collection of old planes looking to locate to a suitable facility located near a major metro area close to an intersection of interstates with an avid fan base, where they can have a big warbird show.

Okay, I know there are various reasons why it's not perfect. But c'mon -- I can't be the only one tickled by the idea of the CAF moving in with the Yankees. :snakeman:

"United Air Force" anyone?

Good luck with the 'management' on that idea ...

Here's the CAF brass assembling after flying to another 'potential relocation' site. :axe:

Actually it was a shame a few of these guys below weren't 'saved' as 'something worth saving'

I didn't know the CSA had a Bell LongRanger. No wonder Lee was so good.

Afraid that your pic is a bit off, as the official uniform of the (P)CAF is now Yankee blue.
