Jack Croul doesn't own Vintage Airframes. Mike Breshears does and he's at Nampa, ID by the Warhawk Air Museum. But, showing up unannounced is considered "bad form" :idea:
Jack Croul doesn't own a warbird company persay but his a/c are operated by and cared for by Allied Fighters based in Chino by the tower.
BTW Jack Croul is quite a good fellow. If you ever have the chance shake his hand, do so and thank him for the good work he doing preserving these warbirds.
