As a non-warbird owner, operator, maintainer etc.

What warbird do you seem to have access or see or frequent the most? Mine? All of POF's airplanes. I frequent the POF hangers probably once every three or four months. Hope this isn't a amature WIX question. And remember your NOT an owner, operator or maintainer.

I get to see the Spartan NP-1 at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum all the time.
Also get to see several T-6s and the P-51 owned by Ike Enns here in Tulsa pretty regularly too (usually on Saturday mornings when they do formation flights over my house).

Good stuff!

We also see Liberty Belle in Tulsa every year (or we did) and we see Aluminum Overcast at least once a year as well.

I used to hang around a bunch of Tiger Moths. Then I moved and had to settle for helping restore a Fox Moth. Then I moved again to a place where neat old airplanes don't seem to exist.

As for your original question, I do still go back and visit the Tiger Moths every couple months. Also, I just realized I may be disqualified as I do pitch in with maintenance and I operate the he!! out of the airplanes when given the opportunity...

I get to see Serial Number 8 T-34 Mentor rotting away every work day. Once or twice a year I visit the Collings Foundation at the estate airfield and see the TBM, Stork, Stearman, T-6 etc.

I get to see, and HEAR a C-17 go over about twice a day. We're right under the downwind leg of left hand traffic at WVANG in MRB.

Mudge the hearing impaired :wink:

I live just a few miles up the road from the Kalamazoo Air Zoo, and used to volunteer as a decent, but I haven't really been over there much in recent years.
