This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

What all does Tom Friedkin have in his collection? I'm assuming he has quite a few.

The collection is rather large and many have been with the collection for 20+ years.
His son Dan is flying many of them now as well.

Yeah, since they make their purchases individual corporations sometimes, it is hard to track the holdings. There are a few registrations held in reserve under Chino Warbirds, so maybe the N-Number will be changed to one of those. Or not...

Two questions:
1) Does Tom fly any of his aircraft any more or do other people do most of the duties?
2) Where is his Grumman Duck? It was at Chino for a few years, but it seems like it's disappeared off the face of the earth. Where did it go?

the Duck is in Valle, Az, near the Grand Canyon

Ah, thanks for the info. I haven't been to the POF's sister facility yet. That explains it all!

We have our annual (Valle) fly-in coming up on June 21st. It's worth the trip! It's a very different experience.
