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

Hearing news reports that a hangar with 8 vintage aircraft and some vintage motorcyles has burned with the loss of all contents. Did not say what type of aircraft, just that they were vintage. Anybody know more or care to speculate.

I was not at the Phx regional airport. I talked to my friend there and he has no idea where it was.

I found a Rae Williams that had 5 or 6 vintage aircraft but some were registered in Alabama and some in New York.
Any other ideas?

Same ones I found, but none are shown in Arizona, although the registrations for each are out of date.

And considering the Flying Bucket private airfield is only a 2900' long, turf (or dirt out here) field, I'd suspect nothing larger than any of these.
If you haven't been out that way, there are a TON of private airfields - there's about 7 within a few miles of this one... I guess someone decided that the only EASY way to get anywhere from way out there was to fly...
