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

My Great Uncle Don passed away yesterday at the age of 94. He was in the Marine Corps from 1942-1946. He was stationed at Cherry Point and worked on and flew on PBJs. He was a wonderful person who loved to learn about everything. He enjoyed travelling, photography, going to airshows, computers, and making wood furniture. He was a very gentle man. The world is a little bit less with him gone now. He passed away peacefully in his sleep.
RIP Uncle Don

My deepest condolences Nathan to the loss of your hero (and ours). He was a great man who lived a great life.

His PBJ starting to rise out of his formation, to join his comrades who are waiting for him, and to wait to greet the rest who will eventually be joining them. God bless them all.
