Warbird Information Exchange

What warbirds that are flying are based at your local airport?

At my local airport (Porter County Municipal) we have the following:
2 AT-6 Texans
1 P-51 Mustang
1 F4U Corsair
1 T-34 Mentor
1 PT-17 Stearman
1 L-2 Grasshopper
1 A-37 Dragonfly
1 DHC Chipmunk
1 T-28 Trojan

Another near by airport (Gary/ Chicago Regional) has the following:
1 C-47 Skytrain
1 Junkers JU-52

Wow, you just had to start that.

That might take the cake.

Well, I suppose the closest airport to me would be Vancouver International Airport (CYVR).

The only warbirds I know of there are:

Supermarine Spitfire Mk 16 (I think)
de Havilland Mosquito Mk 35

Both owned by Bob Genns

The second closest airport is Boundary Bay Airport (CZBB) that has:

North American P-51D (I think)
Beech C-45
Several Nanchang CJ-6's
N.A. T-28 Trojan
N.A. Harvard Mk IV
and there used to be a Sea Fury

It's not bad, but I wish there was more.

Also, there is a Stinson AT-19 rotting away on the grass which I have been told is a combat veteran. There is a picture of it in the May/June 2002 issue of Warbirds International.

I know this list isn't even close. Roger C could make it better,

P51D=3 or 4
T6=4, at least
T28=2 or 3
P40=1
Bearcat=1, last time I looked, it might be gone now
L39=1

There's a lot more, and a couple three cool things that will be alive there in the next two years.

Then theres Hayward, PAO, ect, ect.....

I am lucky, I live in probably one of the densest warbird places on the planet
