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

There you go, Steve. This was taken on a previous visit. Although now on the US register, it still has 'AWAH' painted below the port wing (they've blanked out the 'G-').

Still in fine fettle, and apparently used regularly as a photo ship and groundcrew ferry, just like in the old days with TFC! :D

I really hope one of the teams is successful in pulling the rest of the Lost Squadron out of the ice.

I've been thinking about that alot lately, Im in the midst of reading the Glacier Girl book. I was told this week that the planes are now about 375 feet under the ice, a hundred more feet than 15 years ago. The figure I was told to pull out Glacier Girl was staggering, but of course that was many trips added up, when they hadn't got the science down yet. I hope somebody can do this, it seems a shame to leave it all up there. I can't wait for the show next week!!!!!!!!!

The P-38 has always been my favorite warbird and I can't wait to see the three fly together next week at Chino!
