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

The First one I shot at Wiley Sanders place in Troy, Alabama.
The Civil Registration number was/is N2993 in this picture.
As of this date the Number returns to a Wilcox Bensen B-8M
as destroyed.
Anyone have any ideas as to where this Trainer got off to?
