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

Saw a familiar looking Bearcat sitting in the Signature hangar at Hobby and a certain local L-39 out front while taxying in after landing from Dallas on a Southwest flight.

Some Marine Hueys transitioning to 29 Psalms stopped by due to weather, then the Baa Baa Blacksheep flew a few times.

A nifty Lake amphibian flew over my house about 9:00 this morning, probably headed for some practice water landings on Lake Lewisville (about 3/4 mile east of my QTH). It's been a while since I've seen one of those.

Kalamazoo Kid, we have a Blue Canoe at VFM, though it's not on display in the main hangar due to space limitations.

Huey D or H model on a trailer heading east on Hwy 290 between Hempstead and Houston about 3:30PM. Had a medivac red cross on the nose, NY NG 0-21789 near the tail rotor. Have pictures but can't get Photobucket to load them.

Got Photobucket to work-at least on IE, not on Firefox yet.
