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

With the line that separates my buttcheeks almost erased from sitting for so dang long . . .
I made it a few hours ago to Albuquerque; already
scouted Kirtland, drove on the neighborhoods close to the Rio Grande, and discovered the nose of a Cessna Citation inside a metal fabricating compound.
Also, saw a US Army training camp on Highway 350, south of La Junta, CO (a former USAAC bomber training base during WWII). An M-60, an M-113 and an old artillery piece decorate the main entrance to the camp.
Not much in the way of aircraft; weather was very bad almost all the way from Salina, KS, with snow in the high elevations in Colorado and NM.
Of interest, but too fast to take any photos, I saw a guy towing a trailer with a Hiller helo, and another with what looked like a home-made rocket, but heading the opposite direction.
Any special requests for photos and data from Albuquerque and environs, I will try my best to help.
Lastly, too late for Balloon Fiesta, which ended yesterday : (
