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

A guy in Ontario, Oregon is selling a jet warbird collection. It includes one of the F5ds that NASA used for wing research (and which was appearently flown by Neil Armstrong), an F-111, F-86L, A-4, and more.
http://www.trade-a-plane.com/detail/1524860.htmlI'd like to see these to go to a good home.
Anyone know more about them?

This collection is close to me, I've see it several times. The DH Sea Venom and Grumman C-1 Cod look to be very nearly flyable as is if not in current annual. The F-104 is complete, but has been outside for some time. Some of the other aircraft appear to be former "gate guard" aircraft from various places. A shame it is going away.

It is amazing that stuff like this exist that most of us never knew about.
But this kinda raises a question.
The Collins foundation can't have an F-105, because the airframe is Nuc. capable. But this guy has two nuclear bombers?!

I can't find any of the aircraft you mentioned in the Trade-a-plane link you gave. What am I missing?

Most of those sound like GSA type aircraft that were distributed in the late 90's from AMARC (f-111, T-33, A-4) . Hope he has paperwork cause the GSA has been busting horns with museums lately.

I don't know, click on the link in my post, it will take you to an ad that mentions the aircraft and shows several (noot all).
If you go to the main TAP site, for some reason it's listend under "Single engine piston" then: War Aircraft Replicas Corsair (For Sale). Why? I have no idea.
