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

Thanks guys!

It was a great day to fly and everything fell into place for the trip. Eric picked me up at Toronto Island Airport after I finished work; the folks at Russell's were waiting for us to help get the plane ready; customs was there on our arrival and we were done in about 2 minutes. After a "runway wind check" or two, Austin and Craig were there to park us and help button her up. Then Austin drove us back to Russell's. Except for drive-through food, overall a great day. The plane ran well and the company was outstanding!

See you at the show.

PS Yes Rick, spent 14 years in VA. Now back home.

Glenn,

Can't wait to see that TBM! Make sure to stop by the 'Top Gun' tent and have a beer with the Long Island WIX contingent after your flight.
