Dan Friedkin Comanche Fighters How Many Warbirds??

[Ed Likes]

I see that Dan Friedkin has acquired Berlin Express, plus Frenesi. Also is the owner of the A-36, and many more. Anybody out there in WIX Land no off hand how many different types of warbirds is in his stable? I for one am glad that folks like him have the deep pockets to keep these warbirds flying. Between him and Rod Lewis those 2 guys have there own private air force. Keepem Flyin

All of these except one (Double Trouble Too) have been over to the UK whilst in Friedkin ownership.

Hurricane (AE977) also I believe.

The Hurricane was sold to Peter Monk a number of years ago and has been based at Biggin Hill in England (registered G-CHTK since 2013).

I have a suspicion that the former Ed Russell, now Biggin Hill-based, Bf-109E may be tied to Friedkin (though I may be way off the mark, there are some clues that seem to point toward this).

Ex-TFC P-40M (re)built by Precision in Australia

Only eight Mustangs?
Poor guy, maybe we should take up a collection...

[Zac Yates]

Wow, that is gorgeous. Not sure I'd seen it before.

Friedkin is my only hope for a P-51B in Kidd Hofer's "Salem Representative" markings. He seems to be just the kind of guy to get it done
