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

Other than a stack of $$$ what would it take to make the CAF B-23 airworthy again?

1989 Madera Airport, Gathering of Warbirds. (N747M USAAC 39-33)

Information on the display card:

Roger,

I went back over my pics, yeah, the B-23 was at Madera, but the A-26 was definitly taken at Watsonville.

I've got a pretty basic website of alot of my pics I've taken over the years. I slowly add to it when I have time.
