I came across this web log today and ended up going back to it again out of curiousity. Now I'm jonesing to know who it belongs to. :D

From the information given, I'd say the guy must work for Jim Frye, or Northpoint Aero Warbird Classics, or someone like that?! Any clue who out there owns two T-2 Buckeyes?

I think you might be right. Besides the T-28 and the Corsair project, I've heard he has a Buckeye. If it's him, I guess he has two. Very cool. I poked around a little bit on the page and found this,

Someone should send him an email and invite him over here. I didn't read the whole blog yet, but the thing the stood out imediately was,

7 ME-109's

If my fuzzy drunk memory serves, Connie Edwards had some Buchons once upon a time, but, my god, they're still there! Hopefully!


This is good news about the T-2's. Especially that they are in my area. I can't wait to see them. This is even cooler, maybe even strange, because, after a very cool day of T28 flying with Dan D, I was getting out of his car, and I saw on the floor of his back seat, a factory NAA picture labeled "Navy T2J Trainer-Columbus Division". Dan gave it to me. It's hanging over this computer as I type.

Interesting pictures he posted! Is that collection in a hangar or some storage facility?

I was just about to post a note about blogs. Anyone found any other blogs on Warbirds? Seems like most of the ones I have found are just about general aviation.

From the names in the blog, he appears to be Wayne D Watts.

If you guys are correct...what is the second Corsair he is talking about? I know Mr. Doyle has the ex-Hooey bird N7171K, but he said two...
