I am very sorry to hear this, and enjoyed the limited interactions I had with him. I don't mean to be ghoulish, but what will happen to the site and information? It was a very valuable, useful resource.

Sad to hear. I hope we all thanked him when he was with us. I did as I made frequent use of the site and sent him info I had.

I think that is a fair question. It would be a shame if all his valuable work were lost to time.

Sad news, it's dedicated people like this who help make our hobby so rewarding and fascinating. His website is currently available to view in the Wayback Machine site; I don't know how permanent that is but maybe helpful if his site is taken out of commission?
RIP

This is sad, he has been one of the core warbird resources since forever. He will be missed.

If anybody hears about the fate of the site let me know, I will not let it fade into the ether.

This individual appears to be maintaining the serial list.

Thanks for the link.
I have bookmarked it, at least until I learn the new name.

It might be nice/polite/encouraging to drop the new proprietor a line to thank him for maintaining the site.

Hopefully, Baugher's group of volunteers, will continue their updates.

Also, I'd encourage WIXers to submit updates.
As I mentioned previously, I have found a lot of warbird histories not updated.

The "star" warbirds...are listed, but you'd be surprised how many Stearmans and L-birds are not.

With Stearmans, you'll see the N number and MSN on the FAA documents/website, but you'll need to correlate the MSN with USAAF serial.
A bit time consuming, but not difficult with the right book.

I do this all the time!

I just emailed Joe a few months ago on trying to figure out a aircraft serial number to a C-124. It took him about 3 days but finally emailed me with the correct info I needed plus more. I hope his site stays up!

This is a huge loss to the aviation history community! :(
