Warbird Information Exchange

My warbird flights (so far):
Beech T-34B Mentor, N99257 (was with NAS Dallas flying club)
Boeing B-17G Flying Fortresses (Chuckie, 9-0-9, Aluminum Overcast)
Waco UPF7 (okay, not a warbird, but it was really, really fun!)

Not a very impressive list compared to most others'. Hopefully, there will be more warbird flights in my future. . .

Cheers!

C-123 (Cat House, OFM. A couple of very fast taxies up and down the runway with the cargo door open on a dark and rainy night with the tower closed and a bunch of drunk Brits in back. Very fun.)

Allison V-12 powered tracter pull tracter, driven by a very inebreated Brad Pilgrim. In a ride that almost caused the destruction of 5 Navions and the seviere injury of one Bud Grandly, and did cause me much damage to my hearing. Ok Brad wasn't the only one who was drunk....Bud was too.

All of those free, except the rented time in the L-2's

I've been on a Jolly Green helo doing touch and gos at the Cape, C-141, and C-5 while in the AF. I've been in a '47(?) Piper Cub, and on the back of an ultralight (!) but never in a warbird.

Someday soon, I hope.

I was in a L-bird as a little kid, don't know which one.

I was in a C-47/DC-3 but it was serving as a Belgian passenger plane (most fun ride in an aircraft to date--we were crabbing sideways in the rain -hitting tree tops. Most Excellent! passengers were crying. Not me. I loved it.

Just helped out with the tour stop of Aluminum Overcast with EAA warbird Sqdn 4. Got to help a bit with a tire change, and pull props thru at dawn. No ride yet but it had very high Cool Factor.

I'm Hooked. Maybe I can get a ride in Tom Bucks TBM Avenger. He's a great guy and flys it all over the area.

Don't just want to ride, I want to FLY ONE. NOW!
