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

Mike;
Is that a C&O 2-6-6-4 I spy on the shelf?
What's the connection..besides beautiful machinery!?

The train is an Allegheny H-8. It is hand made out of metal and it is a fully operational engine. I have started to collect stuff from the sight below.

So far I have the Allegheny, F4U Corsair and the P-51. The Me 109 is next.

I am into airplanes, cars, tanks, RC models, and Guns so there is a little of each in my Love Me rooms

Not much to show in my place yet - just a poster from the movie X-15 signed by Charles Bronson and an early portrait of the proposed Lockheed SST - someday I should bring my models back from Illinois...

Mike (mgeorge51),

Great stuff, especially the ejection seats! I'm going to do ejection seat stools in my hangar when I build the Rat Pack Lounge/O'Club upstairs. Looks like a lot of us share the aviation art print disease as well (job security for you artists!).

ok wheres that f101?

Hey one of our old F101s sweet! She is just begging for some tlc though!

I didn't see the context that this photo was in. At first I thought this was your entry into the "Gameroom Topic"... I was like WOW! :oops:

Thanks Tim! Actually we played Austin last year. Not sure we'll do it again cause that was a looooooong trip!

Not really warbird, but certainly unique. An early '60s Sailfish mount that I customized/desecrated depending upon your point of view. :lol:

Office/House aviation collections

Sat Apr 07, 2007 9:06 pm

When I built my house a couple years ago I planned it all out where I wanted all my aviation memorbilia to be stored and displayed. Most of it is in my office then it spills over into the living room and upstairs game room! Archives are out in the garage/office. My mailbox sits atop a bent 2B20 and another prop is leaning against the outside of the garage. So... the collection is all consuming!

These four show my office. I built the shelves to hold my personal collection of books. My "extras" are in the garage!
