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

On my birthday, too - wish I could go digging through the goodies.
Back in 1980, there was a thoroughly corroded wingless hulk under a tarp over by the big barn store; I recognized it as a Staggerwing by its landing gear. Wonder if that's among the items?

Oh goodie!
Okay on my list;
1) the XP-51. It isn't being used anymore
2) THe N.A. P-64. It isn't being used and no one knows what it is.
3) The EA-1E Skyraider that used to sit out front. It'll never be missed.
4) THe Pietenpol Aircamper. Can't seem to find a good one, and they look fun.
5) Curtiss P-6E replica with V-12. Really beautiful and donated before it was even hardly flown. The builder had just a "little bit" of help from Oskar Tischler and it is amazing.
Can I keep going?

If you want the Skyraider you'll have to keep going west a bit.

This actually took place on a small scale last year also.
I was able to view the entire inventory in the building and there were some ineteresting things for sale.
However,most items were not really rare , if they were they would not be there for sale.
Usually deals like this have been picked over by a privilaged few and the good stuff is gone by the time everyone else see it.
Still I will be there again this years as it is fun looking thru the stuff

I'll take some C-47 seats...to line the back of the excursion.
