Replica Warbirds at Lackland AFB, TX

[Connery]

I was at Lackland AFB last Thursday and Friday for my son's graduation from basic training. I looked at a couple of the warbirds surrounding the parade field and a couple of them, like the A-10 had serial numbers listed on the plaques, but others did not. I know that the B-24 is a replica, since the original one that was there when I went through basic training in now in the museum in England.

Does anyone know just how many of the warbirds that are there are replicas?

The only replicas that I know of are the P-38 on the pole and the B-24.
