Of all the warbird collectors mentioned on this sight I don't recall Tom Thomas's name ever coming up.
I'd be interested in knowing what a/c he owned and if he's still active in aviation or even alive. As I recall he scored 4 kills in WWII 1 flying A-36 Apaches and 3 more flying P-40Fs in the 33rd FG all in N. Africa in 1942-43.

That is a fantastic collection. I happened upon it almost by accident. A real gem, well worth the trip. Not a real touristy location unfortunately.

Been there several times, sad to see the B-25, -5N Corsair and TBM just sitting.
