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

Rod Lewis must have one of the replica NA-50s in his stable.

This is a bit different than the myth floating around about these a/c and is based on some careful research.

Now, hijack over... :wink:

That "NA-50" is based in western NC and powered by a geared 1340. The owner is in the final stages of completing a "Super Six".

According to the owner or pilot that was at the airplane at Sun N Fun, it is a T-6 conversion to look like a Na-50. Right now I am at Baton Rouge waiting for better ceilings down the road. There is a FW190 in a hangar being rebuilt; apparently the fuselage may be authentic, engine and panel are not. Don't know about wings. Also a 51 on the ramp and a older looking T-28, as well as a active F-18, guess it is flown by a guy who lives here.
