Cooper no offence taken at all. I would just be wary of naming and shaming someone and calling them a criminal without facts. No-one here was there at the time so cannot say what is and isn't illegal.
If he did trespass than by all means he should be told off.
Until then just enjoy the photos. I've known about this amazing collection and Walter (and his family) did a great service in saving these aircraft (with some returning to the skies.

Most people in the warbird community know of Mr. Soplata's collection. And most people know that Walter and family do not let guests on their property. Especially after Walter died not many have been able to venture in. If a family wants to keep private then lets leave them alone. :drink3:

Received word last night from a Soplata family member and here are their words: the article has been pulled after contact was made with the woman who wrote the article informing her of the true/false facts about the article and the collection. Now these are my words: Really, really sad that us enthusiasts have to suffer because of someone else's actions!

This collection has sparked my interest, definitely due to my recent welcome into the warbird community. Specifically, was hoping that Cooper9411 wouldn't mind contacting me? You seem to be knowledgeable and I would appreciate some assistance if you could help me?

I'm newer to all this, especially posting on pages but my respect for aircraft, warbirds and history has been ingrained since a young age.
