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

Please keep your politics out of here, we've been down that road on this forum and there are plenty of other forums that welcome your narrow minded outlook on politics


I didn't realize it would offend anybody, sorry about that.


Yup... it did. Same as the childish text below your messages.

That's fine, Some people have difficulty in my opinion. That's alright, I am sympathetic. I don't care much for your photography either. (lights up a cigar.) Anyway, weren't we talking about 41's Avenger?

Anything else about 41's Avenger? I heard the Japps were close to capturing him, and almost no one made it out of Chi Chi Jima alive.

Read the book Flyboys, it will tell you what happened on Chi Chi Jima

Yes! It was a great book. Those Japanese soldiers were nasty folks.

We don't have difficulty with your opinion. We have difficulty with your posting politics on a site where it's against the rules to talk politics. When your opinion we often enjoy laughing at it and it's all good. When it's about politics we all wish you would find somewhere else to spout your agitprop. It just doesn't belong here.

How does one talk about government problems as they relate to aviation w/o mentioning facts and offending you? Keep your tolerance up, and send me a pm.

Anyway, back to 41's Avenger.
