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

An interesting "warbird" in attendance at the Avalon Airshow this week in Australia is a civil registered...... ex RAAF C-47 .....painted up as a USAF AC-47D Spooky Gunship of the Vietnam era 1965-1970 period when these slow but effective machines protected the many bases and also did work over the "Trail".
It is not known if the aircraft be "armed" with MXU-470A miniguns or the like.... A similar Spooky is flying in the US warbird circut i recall.
A friend of mine flew the bigger AC-119G/K models Stinger and Shadow gunships in early 1970s over SVN.

Looked like the standard C-47 from the outside. Looking at the pics so far.
