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

Gen. Lyons is (or was at one time) a major player in the classic car world with entries (and perhaps winners) at Pebble Beach.
We're talking multi-million dollar classics here, not 57 Chevys and 65 Mustangs.
Nice to see a man of his wealth and taste get involved with BIG warbirds in a big way.
And at the risk of appearing crass....considering his age, I wonder if they're in a trust or foundation of some sort.
The answer could give us an idea how long it will be flying or if it will end up as a static somewhere.
Well done General!

Tim, saw it at Orange County on Monday on the west side of the airport. Wondered why a B-17 was there (been off the WIX for a few days while I was in Chicago).

I seem to recall that Lyons used to own the P-38 that is now the subject of scrutiny with the CAF as to how they got ahold of it from David Price, etcetera....forget the N number on it (it had an accident in Chandler AZ back in th early 90's but was made flyable again)....
